Prestige 2602HW Series User’s Guide

10.6.1 Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression

Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets the Prestige reduce the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent packets” when you are not speaking.

10.6.2 Comfort Noise Generation

When using VAD, the Prestige generates and sends comfort noise when you are not speaking. Comfort noise uses the lowest possible transmission bandwidth to match the background noise. The comfort noise lets the person at the other end of the connection know that the line is still connected (total silence would easily be mistaken for a lost connection).

10.6.3 Echo Cancellation

G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.
