What other HD codes are supported? actually blackberry has
AMR support only. Thats why AMR should be in the shelf.<br>

One that I would consider as an option is Opus. It is basically a
successor codec to Speex and CELT, and supports "HD" (or "wideband"
and "ultra-wideband") rates/quality. The downside to Opus is that
to the best of my knowledge, there is no option for offloading any
transcoding onto dedicated trancoder cards or similar hardware. But
on the upshot, if you don't need to transcode, it is of little
impact to the server that you are hosting your calls on.<br>

I can't speak authoritatively on this issue, but I think that the
bulk option is one stipulated by the patent holder and not by any
entity that resells licensing for specific implementations of the
g729 codec transcoding implementations. If I recall correctly, you
had to have something like an order of 1,000,000 licenses directly
from the entity that holds the patent. <br>

<br>
It's probably going to be a heavier load on the CPU than on the
RAM. I unfortunately cannot provide any actual numbers, as I have
never tested the load.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

I can confirm that, Sangoma's cards do not include AMR
licensing. This is<br>
one of their * notes right on the marketing materials.<br>
