Orban Brings U.S. Presence to New Audio-Over-IP Group
Tempe, Arizona, February 13th, 2007 — Orban has joined a new group that focuses on audio over IP issues and hopes to develop standards-based systems.
AETA Audio Systems in France and Mayah Communications in Germany recently founded the Audio-via-IP Experts Group, a move to coordinate technical efforts and reach interoperability of audio codec products of various manufacturers.
With locations in The USA and Germany, Orban's codec R&D department now has joined.
The three companies have successfully performed transmission tests of their codecs applying SIP/RTP protocols according to draft standards from the European Broadcasting Union. Tests involved bi-directional transmission using G.711, G.722 as well as MPEG Layer 2 and Layer 3 audio coding.
