Thomson's wideband audio internet phone

Thomson Telcom has announced their first in the world wireless internet phone having the capability of transmitting voice and music with a near CD quality. It is a standard feature for PC to PC voice over IP telephony but a new one for wireless internet phone sets.

“Wideband audio delivers superior voice quality both compared to regular PSTN and standard IP phone calls. Integrating this feature raises the bar not only in terms of the sophistication of broadband service delivery platforms but also for voice services across the board”, stated Bruno Fabre, vice president in charge of Telecom activities at Thomson. “We believe that in 2007 wideband audio will be implemented in 30% of the wireless VoIP devices dedicated to both the residential and enterprise markets.”
