System uses a peer-to-peer paradigm for voice communication. This makes the system operate with good quality in LAN environment, as well as over short MAN connections and reduces the network traffic. |
|
The system is easily scalable leading to reduction of deployment costs. |
|
The system incorporates conferencing with a reasonable number of active participants (User definable, typically 4) and a large number of passive participants (typically 1020). The conferencing algorithm developed uses multicasting, and is unique in eliminating the need for an operator who sets up a conference in present systems. This reduces the cost of conferencing considerably. |
|
Voice quality improvement under packet loss conditions has been developed. |
|
A real-life audio conference like environment is created with a novel technique. |
|
Proprietary and standards based speech codecs are integrated. |
|
A PSTN gateway connects the system to the conventional telephone network |
|
A novel scalable Voice Mail System is integrated into the system |
|
The system also works with routers that have no multicast capability. |
|
The system is built on the WINDOWS platform with all flavours of the operating system. |
|
The clients (or the voice terminals) run on PCs with LAN cards and also with WiFi cards. |
|
The clients can be in a Virtual Private Network environment. |
