Sangoma launches a new series of PCI and PCI Express cards enabling up to 480 channels of voice transcoding per card. Most IP telephony applications require the use of multiple types of voice codecs, which are used to digitally compress the voice signals at any given deployment. While voice signals from the PSTN always come in the form of the G.711 codec, the VoIP terminal equipment and networks support a variety of voice codecs including G.729, G.726, AMR, etc. VoIP infrastructure most often needs to include the capability to mediate between endpoints supporting different codecs, but this 'transcoding' digital signal processing task is often costly, resource intensive and can affect the quality of the voice signals if it introduces too much latency or delay.
