SPIRIT’s TeamSpirit Voice&Video Engine Mobile enables HD-quality voice and video communications on a broad range of mobile devices, addressing all impairments inherent with IP networks – such as congestion, echo, noise suppression, latency, delay (jitter), packet loss, lip synchronization, etc. – to secure high quality voice over Wi-Fi and 3G/4G (LTE/WiMAX) networks. It includes highly optimized standard voice and video codecs, such as G.711, G.723, G.729, iLBC, SILK, H.263, H.264 and SPIRIT’s robust high-definition patent-free wideband IP-MR™ codec.
