Prodys is releasing new firmware upgrades for its family of IP codecs. Version 6 is incorporating many important improvements aimed at ensuring consistent audio quality across IP links despite variable network performance.

IP networks are designed to support non-real time connection oriented applications, not usually sensitive to delay variation (jitter) and lost packets. However audio over IP applications require timely packet delivery with low delay, jitter and packet loss values.

The quality of service of Internet networks varies under congestion and convergence in terms of jitter, lost and disordered packets and available bandwidth. Due to the requirements of audio over IP applications, some sort of QoS must be provided by the network to deal wih these impairments or, in case this is not possible, or this QoS mechanisms do not perform as expected, a set of tools to help the customer diagnose and achieve the best consistent quality in their audio over IP communications must be provided by the audio codec to compensate for this.

In this regard, Prodys is releasing a set of tools with its next firmware version. Among this tools are FEC (Forward Error Correction), Error Concealment and Active Recovery techniques... and, of course, it will be available FREE to all our customers.

Hideaki Oda of Tokyo FM Broadcasting Co. shared how ProntoNet backed up a network of 37 stations, without one blip of interruption when his satellite link went down on more than one occasion: "We use the IP/ATM backbone network via NTT (Nippon Telegraph & Telephone) for our satellite backup. In Japan the humidity is very high in the rainy season, so very frequently, the satellite drops. But the ProntoNet IP backup proved to be seamless! We had no delay and no packet loss. No error, no sound loss, and no interruption - it's a very stable product.ProntoNet is No. 1!"
