CHAPTER37 Advanced SBC Features
Mediant 800 Gateway & E-SBC | User's Manual
■ Managed Opus or Managed G.729: If the SBC detects WAN network impairments during a
call using the Opus or G.729 coder between the Enterprise SBC and Access SBC, it can
adjust the coder's attributes (e.g., bit rate) for that specific call to ensure high voice quality is
maintained. The advantage of these coders is that their bit rate can change dynamically
according to bandwidth availability. This mode is useful for unstable networks, allowing the
coders to dynamically adapt to adverse network conditions.
For Managed Opus, the Enterprise SBC performs transcoding from G.711 (used between
Enterprise phones and SBC) to Opus (used between Enterprise and Access SBCs). For
Managed G.729, the G.729 coder is used by all the involved entities and therefore, transcoding
is not needed. For Managed G.729 operating in an MPLS environment, voice quality can also be
maintained, as mentioned previously.
