Keep an ear out for HD VoIP
Posted by Caitlin on June 19th, 2008
The primary selling point for VoIP services is the decreased cost in comparison to traditional phone lines. But as VoIP services become increasingly popular and commonly used, we can look forward to an additional benefit – dramatically improved sound quality. At the moment, high definition VoIP has a bit of a mythical quality, since the technology is still being developed and there is not a great deal of readily available information just yet. Iristel introduced high definition VoIP in Canada on February 1st, 2007, claiming that the difference in quality was comparable to upgrading from an old AM radio to a CD.
Aside from Skype-to-Skype calls, however, HD VoIP is not yet readily available in the U.S. One problem with HD VoIP is the fact that unless both parties have an HD VoIP service, it is unlikely that either caller will notice improved sound quality. But as VoIP becomes more widespread and the technology continues to improve, it seems as though we can look forward to greater clarity in VoIP calls in the future, which is something to keep in mind when considering VoIP services.
