HD Voice is changing the Voice of the Next-Generation Network

Television and radio are being revolutionized by high-definition broadcasts and voice is not far behind. When we see a high definition TV program we cannot help but become immersed in the program, captivated by its crisp picture, its amazing detail and its captivating sound. With HD Radio it is a similar experience where there is no more second guessing a song's lyrics as the words and notes come out with a clarity and fidelity that has never before been possible.
The new HD experience that we are experiencing with our televisions and radios is now headed to our daily voice conversations. As more and more telecommunications traverse broadband connections, the Internet and VoIP are able to do what they do best, which is improve the experience, empower the end user and make everything more efficient.
HD voice highlights the added value of communicating over an IP network as it detaches itself from the legacy and stagnated PSTN network of the past. With the advent of wideband codecs, users on IP networks are able to receive CD quality sound that greatly improves the communications experience with breathtaking clarity and fullness. Freed from the shackles of the PSTN network, HD voice lets users speak with family, colleagues and prospects with a richness and definition that is almost as good as being there, which bridges the distance and increases our level of connection.
While it will take some time for this technology to become widely adopted rest assured the revolution of wideband codecs is underway and is being led by industry leaders like IVR Technologies.
