Opus transcoding
Some solutions on the market have chosen to implement the WebRTC termination in an external box, a complex architecture
that also hinders security. By implementing WebRTC natively in the AudioCodes Session Border Controller (SBC), an entity that is
designed to reside on the public Internet and sustain security threats, and by avoiding the need to add this capability to an external
box, network security is maintained.
The AudioCodes SBC supports SIP over WebSockets for communicating with WebRTC clients. Choosing the commonly used signaling
protocol in enterprise and service providers networks allows for easy integration of WebRTC clients with telephony features available
in the existing network.
Handling of network impairments should be done in the entity that connects between these networks as it is familiar with the
requirements of each and has the per-session knowledge of source and destination of traffic. The AudioCodes Mediant SBC family
functions as a demarcation point between these devices and networks. It utilizes
the AudioCodes media enhancement algorithms to mitigate network impairments
and yield the best possible call quality.
Another missing piece in typical deployments is the ability to monitor the traffic,
know what is happening on the network and impact SBC decisions for quality
improvements.
The AudioCodes Session Experience Management (SEM) not only monitors and
detects voice call quality issues, it also works in harmony with the SBC to allow for
smart, quality based, routing and quality improvements.
Support for Opus media end-to-end
For achieving high quality audio in a cost effective solution, it is preferred, when possible, not to perform media transcoding but
rather to maintain Opus end-to-end from the browser to the business IP phone. To meet this need AudioCodes added the required
media capabilities to its 440HD SIP Phone.
Support for the WebRTC voice Opus codec and encryption algorithms natively on the enterprise IP Phone yields the following
benefits:
AudioCodes included support for Opus and WebRTC media encryption in its 440HD SIP Phone. The following architecture allows for
