How ViBE Technology Helps

Vibe ( Voice over IP Broadband Enhancement ) solves these problems in several important ways:

Quality of Service is implemented in a completely different way to traditional methods, being much more suited to slower links.
Voice is no longer treated as simply another type of data which happens to have a high priority. Instead, it is treated as a data stream with very specific requirements not only in terms of priority, but also in terms of spacing between packets.
The bandwidth budget required is reduced to that of the compression format used, so that a G.729 call really does only use 8Kbit/s over the ADSL link rather than the 42Kbit/s which is more usual. Rather than a maximum of three calls, twenty-eight calls are now practical on a single broadband line.
Voice and data can readily coexist on a single link. Data transfer rates are not compromised by the fact that voice is present. Classes of data can be given their own share of available bandwidth in a much more granular way than traditional QoS.
Sites that have Vibe links can be joined together to form private networks, which means that security is easier to control.
Backup links can be implemented which can be activated without losing calls in progress.
Much more of the capacity of the link can be used.
Future development of the technology will allow multiple links to be used as a single large bandwidth connection, offering a viable alternative to costly private circuits.
