The cell carriers aren't using G711. I haven't seen how much a UMA call takes up, but I'd bet it's less than the 90K of G.711u. UMA basically encapsulates a GSM stream inside of an IPSEC tunnel. EDGE traffic gets up to 100K+ when surfing or downloading files, so I could see a data stream

Yes. If you are doing Gigs of traffic, peering make sense. Maybe even with a few 100mbps, depending on the capacity sold to customers. But there can also be disadvantages with peering with host sites 1) Flooding. When they don't have a cost to you, they are more likely to flood you with

A lot of people mention using DSL instead of a T1. Rule #1- If your business model doesn't work for full price T1s, ($600 per mon), don't get involved in providing service. In the long run, You'll go crazy trying to support a WISP on a DSL connection. Not from a speed perspective, but from a

G.726 @ 32 kbps should be a lossless ADPCM transcoding of normal PCM G.711. I have listened to many codec and vocoder tests over the years and I could never hear the difference between PCM and ADPCM. I think that the 32k variant conveys all of the same data as uncompressed PCM. Nice thing is

Last I heard, some of the cell carriers are using CELP. That works pretty good but is noticeably worse than the PCM and ADPCM methods. - Original Message - From: Bryan Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 7:58 AM Subject: Re:

Well right. With transit so cheap these days, I'd look at it more as an increase in quality than a decrease in expenses. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Tom DeReggi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List

Pretty sure G.722 is obsolete and has been rolled into G.726 Most GSM systems use a variant of CELP, ACELP I think. G.729 I think. All of the CELP methods suck when compared to G.711/22/26 PCM/ADPCM methods. - Original Message - From: Mike Hammett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General

I guess I should qualify that a bit. They suck when you are comparing voice quality. They are superior when delivering arguably acceptable voice communication with a minimum of bandwidth. - Original Message - From: Chuck McCown [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List
