TI has recently extended the reach of PIQUA technology to the carrier infrastructure market. As service providers make the transition to all-IP networks, delivery of enhanced packet-based capabilities such as IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) for voice, video and data will become possible. However, delivering high quality voice will continue to be a critical component. The changing infrastructure environment will present carriers with new challenges in managing networks and ensuring a quality voice call for the user. PIQUA technology within the carrier media gateway assures the carrier that a quality voice is being delivered. Click here for more details.
