Abacus: Is the AMR-WB Codec supported on Abacus 5000, and how do I configure Abacus to use the AMR-WB Codec?

Answer

Yes, the AMR-WB Codec is supported on Abacus for SIP, MEGACO, Clear Channel, MGCP, and BICC.

AMR-WB is the Adaptive Multi-Rate-Wideband speech codec based on ITU-T standard G.722.2, supported on the ICG3 circuit generator subsystems and Abacus 50 Eth, and licensed under VoIP Audio RTP Codec group 3 (Encoding/Decoding). AMR-WB modes are sampled at 16 kHz.

Using AMR-WB, a maximum of 64 channels per ICG3 card can be used, and a maximum of 16 channels per Abacus 50 Eth can be used.
 
For Path Confirmation using AMR-WB, PESQ voice quality measurement and Speech Pattern Matching are supported.
 
AMR-WB is configurable under Protocol Development / RTP
Packet size can be from 20 to 200 ms.
Rate is configurable as: 6.60, 8.85, 12.65, 14.25, 15.85, 18.25, 19.85, 23.05, 23.85 kbps
