              What other HD codes are supported? actually blackberry has

    One that I would consider as an option is Opus.&nbsp; It is basically a
    successor codec to Speex and CELT, and supports "HD" (or "wideband"
    and "ultra-wideband") rates/quality.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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>

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

    Hope this helps.<br>

              I can confirm that, Sangoma's cards do not include AMR

                  &gt; Moises can confirm this, but I think even the

                  &gt; transcoder cards require separate patent
