G.722
Standard for a Codec.
G.722 is a broadband language codec with a bandwidth of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, a net transmission
rate of 64 kbit/s per voice connection and integrated speech pause recognition and comfort
noise generation (silence suppression).
G.722 delivers a very good voice quality. A higher sampling rate provides clearer and better
voice quality than with other codecs and enables a speech tone in High Definition Sound
Performance (HDSP).
G.726
Standard for a Codec.
G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is inferior to the quality with codec G.711 but better
than with G.729.
G.729A/B
Standard for a Codec.
The voice quality is more likely to be lower with G.729A/B. As a result of the high level of
compression, the necessary bandwidth is only around 8 kbit/s per voice connection, but the
delay is around 15 ms.
Gateway
Connects two different Networks, e.g. a router as an Internet gateway.
For phone calls from VoIP to the telephone network, a gateway has to be connected to the
IP network and the telephone network (gateway/VoIP provider). It forwards calls from VoIP
