Software based technology eliminates Need for Digital Signal Processing “DSP” cards


Los Angeles, CA September 15, 2009- Today, Wyde Voice announces its High Definition (HD) audio and web conferencing bridge technology is now available in software form. This software based technology eliminates the need for Digital Signal Processing “DSP” cards enabling audio conferencing providers to use off-the-shelf hardware to deploy software bridges that scale from 2 to 10,000 concurrent user ports.

Wyde Voice’s HD SoftBridge supports leading HD voice technology such as G.722.2 (AMR-WB), iSAC and a full-feature menu of conferencing capabilities normally found only on legacy audio conferencing bridges which are many times more expensive.   Wyde Voice’s HD Softbridge offers open API’s which make it extremely easy to completely control bridge and conference call functionality from any enterprise or web application.

The new HD Softbridge supports not only superior high quality voice codecs, but subconferences, Q&A, operator assistance, real-time active speaker notification, conference broadcast and additional technology that guarantees voice quality even when network congestion reduces bandwidth availalbility. Wyde Voice’s HD Softbridge can be sized according to a customer’s regional location needs, and internet-worked via a single stream connection to enable regional, national, and international conference calls over geo-distributed areas. Finally, the HD Softbridge has been placed into production with a number of Wyde’s customers enabling them to create very intuitive and powerful user interface experiences. 

“Conferencing Service Providers (CSPs) now have an HD enabled, reliable, scalable, and easy-to-use bridge technology to more effectively collaborate” said Mike Eastman, VP of Global Sales for WYDE Voice. “If you are in the market for HD voice than we are a must- see.”

The HD Softbridge starts at $130/port and supports an extensive list of narrowband codecs as well as the Hi-Fidelity Voice codecs. HD codecs make audio conference calls clearer, more intelligible, and more impactful. To learn more about the Wyde HD Software bridge visit http://www.wydevoice.com/sb1000.html or call 866-508-9020.
