It supports the industry's leading VoIP standards including the H.323 and SIP signalling protocols. Moreover, it provides robust voice compression codecs, such as G.711, G.723.1, and G.729, ensuring clear and reliable communication, while also supporting comfort noise generation and silence suppression for improved audio quality.
