True, but that doesn't get you very far in most real world
installations. IME, soft phones are an accessory to an installation,
not typically the focus.

The trouble with Speex is that it has extremely limited support in
hardware. I've yet to see a high quality IP phone that supports Speex
directly.

Hi Alejandro!

Just to answer your question clearly: Yes, GSM would be a working option for
your scenario.

If you ever need G711 to connect to ISDN the transcoding should be no
problem for a P4 class system and for example 30 ISDN-Lines.

But what the others want to say is that buying new phones just to avoid
paying for G729 licenses may not be a good idea as the licenses are quite
cheap (US$10 for every transcoding you USE at the same time, NOT for every
phone you have).

I hope that answers your question.

But in my case, I don't need trascoding because every chanel is in GSM
and voicemail has gsm sound files.

And for the moment, my Asterisk is not connected to the PSTN, so there
is no trascoding gsm-to-PCM or to analog.

So I think gsm is a good choice for my scenario, do you ???

Thanks a lot !!!

The codec is fine, many multi core processors suck,
there are serious bottlenecks between the cores and the memory bus.

Everything is fine as long as there is room for all the data in the level n
cache, but if you have get it from level n+1 cache, or the memory bus,
by the time you get it, its too late.

Don't know how much memory is needed per call transcoded,
but when you multiply an increasing number of calls,
sooner or later you will exceed the limit.

If you want to see an amazing high school project that took
third place in the Siemens Competion,

http://www.cogito.org/Interviews/InterviewsDetail.aspx?ContentID=17633

These kids were wondering why they were having trouble getting the
expected performance from their model, and discovered it was a
limitation of their multi core processor.

GSM is greate! there was a miss understood.
if you transcode more than 90 in a core 2 duo you get a bad audio
GSM to G729 or G711 to G729.

G711 to GSM is ok, but you should test it.

Do you think GSM codec has poor audio quality ???

Because I've made some tests among softphones connected from different
cities of my country and the audio was good to me.

Maybe GSM is a good choice.

out there is a free for educational and no commercial G729 lib for asterisk
you can use it to test in a non-comercial system.
the digium lib is much better. if you have more than 30~60 phones
transcoding inst a very good idea.
i made my self a test on a core 2 duo 64 bits 2GB of ram a test transcoding
more than 90 calls the sound quality was BAD not poor BAD.

the digium transcoder is GREATE 0 cpu was gone for transcoding.

keep this in mind.

Install the G.729 sound files and make app_voicemail record messages
(format=g729) in G729.  As long as you don't need meetme or a few
other apps that essentially require G.729 transcoding you don't need a
license.

How much would new phones cost?  If they cost more than $10 each then 
you will spend more money by buying new phones rather than buying a G729 
license.  Remember G729 is licensed on a per simultaneous channel basis. 
  i.e. if you buy 10 licenses you can have up to 10 G729 channels in use 
at any one time.  You do not need one license per phone.

GSM is a great and free codec. However if your phones doesn't have it,
you'll have to buy the g729 licenses...

Thanks for your comment about codecsI tell you I can't use G.711
because I use a WAN link, and this is a wide band codec.

Is GSM codec totally free (avoid to pay for any license) ???

Thnks again.

I'd use alaw/ulaw for everything that's local, gsm or g729 only for
remote extensions.

According to the web site the Utopix HiperPhone 202 and 112
support G.711a/u (alaw/ulaw) as well.
So why not use G.711a for everything?

g723 is supported by Asterisk. I've never used it, but it shows up with 
the "show codecs" command.

Because you don't have a g729 codec?

You may want to rethink this. G.729 licenses are only $10 per channel. Can 
you replace the instrument and retrain your users for $10 each?

That would depend on how you interface to the PSTN.

[asterisk-users] GSM codec is a good choice ???

2009-02-23 Thread Alejandro Cabrera Obed
Dear all, I have Asterisk 1.4 with SIP. I have a voicemail implemented
with GSM sound files.

The problem is I have IP phones Utopix HyperPhone 202 which support
only G.729a/u and G.723.1 high/low, but not GSM.

If I choose G.729A the "pass-throu" calls among users are OK, but
Asterisk can't transcode GSM to G.729A in voicemail calls.

My company doesn'y want to pay for a G.729 license, so I'm thinking to
buy new IP phones with GSM support, so I have no problem with the
voicemail system.

Are the IP phone with GSM support a good choice for me ???

(Maybe in the future I need to connect the Asterisk with the PSTN, GSM
doesn't matter at this point ???)

Really thanks,

Alejandro
