VoIP Calls Double In Quality

FreeSWITCH, an open source soft-switch and IVR platform, have announced that they can support 16khz audio calls thus doubling the potential voice quality. They have had successful tests with a conference bridge, a pass-through SIP call and an IVR that reads RSS news feeds with the Cepstral Text-To-Speech Engine."

Voip-Info.org has a good list of business VoIP providers.

    If you find a codec that does 44kHz stereo, FreeSWITCH will do this. It has no hard limit in it and is variable to any rate! This is just awesome!

    Actually 8 bit to 16 bit is far greater than double quality. The quality essentially doubles everytime you add a bit.
