This makes mobile access to the internet or a corporate network both possible and practical wherever a mobile phone signal exists. Why do we hear so much about 3G telephony? In precise terms, it provides packet switching capability allowing the...
One way to improve such applications is to put a visual signal into the voice recognition scheme as Intel is doing. The Audio Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) software tracks a speaker's face and mouth movements.
Then there are concerns about voice over wide area packet switched, as opposed to circuit-switched, networks - something Peter Cochrane will address in his next 'Uncommon Sense' column tomorrow. Virtual private networks (VPNs) and even IP VPNs are...
Just as a web page can be broken up into 'packets', audio can be sampled with a digital signal processor (DSP), 'packetised' and sent out over an IP-based network as another data stream. Any 'latency' - the delay in delivering the voice stream from...
Juniper, a rival of networking giant Cisco, will use technology from Kagoor to sell its communications equipment to telephone companies that plan to use Internet Protocol instead of traditional telephony technology to carry phone calls.
For decades my engineering target for audio and video conferencing has been that they should be capable of a level of human engagement between a man and a woman that would lead them to fall in love. Additional network engineering is required to...
