TEXAS INSTRUMENTS DRIVES HIGH-DEFINITION VOICE ACROSS IP NETWORKS

Texas Instruments Incorporated has announced technology enhancements that redefine its extensive Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions portfolio, driving voice applications even closer to a high-definition (HD) experience. TI is licensing the Low Delay AAC super wideband codec from the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS.

Addition of Super Wideband Codec to VoIP Portfolio Brings New Levels of Sound Quality to Voice over IP

Powered by TI's high-performance digital signal processors (DSPs), the MPEG-4 AAC-LD super-wideband codec offers substantial benefits compared to earlier wideband audio technology, and has the performance capabilities to make ubiquitous HD voice a reality in global IP networks.

Able to transmit voice at a sample rate of up to 48 KHz, super-wideband codec technology offers significant sound quality improvements over traditional narrowband and wideband voice codecs. The technology provides near-CD quality audio at data-rates of 48 – 64 kbps for better clarity with applications like IP-based voice and video, as well as transmission of music over the telephone.
