Huawei Technologies has extended its license with Moscow-based SPIRIT DSP for HD voice and video to carriers.
Huawei, a SPIRIT customer since 2007, will use SPIRIT's TeamSpirit Voice&Video Engine PC in its IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), Unified Communications (UC) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) solutions to carriers from the Huawei core network, delivering a PC video softphone to Huawei's carrier customers.
"Today, traditional carriers and service providers are under competitive pressure from the over-the-top providers like Skype, Google, etc., and they need innovative and cost-effective solutions to gain new revenue streams and meet the growing demand for a quality IP communication experience across all devices," said Wind Min, product manager of Huawei's VOIP product.
"By leveraging our TeamSpirit Voice&Video Engine, Huawei can quickly offer service providers the highest quality IP communication solution so they can aggressively compete against others, and remain the No. 1 source for voice and video services," said SPIRIT Chairman Andrew Sviridenko.
The TeamSpirit Voice&Video Engine is an SDK for real-time communication over IP networks. The engine includes highly optimized standard voice codecs, such as G.711, G723, G.729, etc., and a patent-free wideband SPIRIT IP-MR codec optimized for voice transmission over IP networks. The engine also includes an H.264 SVC video codec that addresses video packet loss and includes other video quality improvements, including a network adaptation module that compensates for network jitter and packet loss, allowing service providers to offer HD quality voice and video communication services to millions of users.
Huawei's product and services are deployed in more than 100 countries and serve 45 of the world's top 50 telecom operators, as well as one-third of the world's population.
