HD VoIP Brings Revolutionary Sound Quality to Business Phone Service
May 13th, 2007 - Posted in VoIPImpulse Internet Services, LLC, the largest local Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone, Internet, and services provider on California’s Central Coast, has announced the launch of High Definition (HD) VoIP through their ClearStar(SM) broadband PBX business telephone service.
The ClearStar(SM) experience from Impulse is delivered through Polycom HD Voice(TM) telephones. Polycom Director of Voice Product Marketing Tim Yankey states, “Impulse is a valuable partner, and we are delighted to team with them to deliver exceptional voice quality through their latest service, ClearStar HD.”
“The sound quality is absolutely incredible,” said Chris Rose, Director of Sales for Impulse. “It sounds as though the person I am speaking with is standing next to me. The increased clarity enables a more natural conversation because of the greater range of voice being transmitted. It’s far superior to all other phone services — traditional or VoIP.”
ClearStar(SM) offers dramatic improvement in fidelity over ordinary telephone capability by leveraging Polycom HD Voice telephones. The improvement gained with HD Voice, which is a wideband technology with integrated system design and Polycom’s acoustic clarity technology, delivers more than twice the clarity of ordinary phone calls. It has been compared to the difference between AM radio and CD quality sound, allowing for natural, intelligible conversations.
Impulse CEO Tony Papa said, “Polycom’s HD Voice sound quality actually helps increase understanding of various inflections, dialects and speech differences, which can increase productivity and even enhance collaboration between distant satellite offices. It is a tangible differentiator over traditional and IP-based telephone systems.” Papa believes that, “as VoIP telephone systems become more prevalent — high definition communication will become increasingly common.”
