Voice Quality
The achievable voice quality depends on various factors. It is possible to optimise
voice-data transmission on an existing network using the available configuration set-
tings. Measuring the network quality may also help.
The following comparison provides a guide to voice quality with specific quality
levels:
When a call is set up, the terminals involved negotiate the voice-data compression
(“codec”) that will be used. This is the first factor that determines the achievable
quality level:
60 33.6 30.4 28.3
70 31.09
80 29.2
