Cedar Point boosts SD voice to near-HD

VoIP switch specialist Cedar Point Communications announced the availability of a technology designed to accelerate adoption and marketability of high-definition voice for service providers.

Enhanced HD Voice, a software upgrade to Cedar Point's Safari C3 Multimedia Switching System, enhances standard voice transmission to near HD-quality, even if both the endpoints and the network are not all HD-capable.

"Businesses and call centers, for which clarity and detail are paramount, have expressed tremendous interest in HD voice as a way of expediting communication with customers," said Jeff Walker, vice president of marketing for Cedar Point Communications.

The highest levels of quality

"By enabling the highest levels of quality, regardless of the source of the incoming call, Enhanced HD gives providers a key differentiator as they sell into the business services market," Walker added.
