Silent Suppression
Basically what silent suppression is a way to save bandwidth when using voice communications like voice IP services which is needed especially for a large company like apple or Microsoft who use these VoIP services to speak with their customers from various countries. If a company were to use a phone service to get in contact with everyone around the world it would not be efficient while lines would be jammed and the service would be horrible. Silent suppression allows intermittent data to be sent through easy especially over the internet and when doing
so the bandwidth isn 't nearly as used. Normal phone lines would not be able to use any of the silent suppression technology that is offered today. Ultimate when reducing the bandwidth for voice calls is the best way for a company to effectively use it its resources. Another term would be voice activation detection which is also used to save WAN used by VoIP traffic. With PSTN it will open a path in both direction between the two speakers and 100% of the packets sent when there is silence. The way the Ip networks will operate is a little different it will send data and information but when there is nothing to send then it wont send as for PSTN it will send even if there is no information to be transmitted which is a big downfall when silent suppression can almost eliminate 40 to 50% of that. Another form similar to silent suppression if you didn 't want to use it would be the echo suppression method. This process deals with improving the voice quality by removing the echo from the speakers. if used with silent suppression it becomes a lot more effective in a companies communication. It either will prevent the echo or it will remove it after the echo is created. This issue is generally caused by mismatched impedance and other electrical interferences. Another form similar to silent suppression would be the echo cancellation which is very alike echo suppression but with this method it would recognize the echo and once it has been noticed then it will be removed from the received signal and can be used with analog circuits too. The way that echo suppressors is that they will detect a voice signal that may be heading in one direction on a circuit and towards the end it will suppress the recognized the echo and it will prevent it from the user from hearing his own voice. Above all the silent suppression would be the best way to go or even implementing all of these together will allow your company VoIP services be up to par with other companies. This will be a huge advantage in a com pay where phone support becomes a big part because you don’t want the customers to have to deal with this type of communication when speaking to the company. Nowadays companies are a lot alike and people try to find the differences if each and which are better so they can choose the best company for them.
