So the next question becomes... Is hardware EC necessary or can * handle it in software? I am looking at some pretty beefy hardware for my platform, a Dell PE2850 with dual Xeon 3Ghz processors and plenty of RAM to spare. I am likely starting with a single T-1 PRI line and expending to 2 within a year, but that would be the max. I am not sure of how many simultaneous calls that would be, but let's assume I want to use a b-channel's worth of bandwidth for each, so 23 max to begin with.On Thursday 15 June 2006 10:22, Warren wrote:I was just told that for my forthcoming system I will be getting a data T-1 instead of a voice T-1. Given that all of the handsets will be voip phones, no analog at all, do I need echo cancellation? I looked at the voip-info wiki and it seems to me that the answer should be "no" but I would like to confirm that.All-digital setups do not *generate* echo since there is no hybrid circuit to reflect energy. However all-digital systems can still have echo if the far-side is a 2-wire system and the latency is sufficiently high. (Anything with a PCI bus can bring this latency up easily.)Also, if you have an ueber-cheap phone which acoustically couples the speaker in the handset with the mic you can introduce echo on your all-digital system that way. The same goes for cheap speakerphones and/or acoustically "hard" rooms. -A. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users Can * do software echo cancellation for 23 (and eventually 46) calls on a dual Xeon 3.0Ghz system?
