Audio Communication
Our Vision
I We want to connect two sites to enable conversation as ifyou were in the same room.
Example: Cisco Telepresence

Audio Communication
To pursuit this vision we...
I focus on full band (20 Hz to 22 000 Hz) speech & audioI can not rely on existing time stretching techniques, as
audio has neither talk spurts, nor silence periodsI use 48 kbit/s (AAC-ELD) stereo
