Description

internet Speech Audio Codec (iSAC) is a wideband speech codec, developed by Global IP Solutions. It is suitable for VoIP applications and streaming audio. The encoded blocks have to be encapsulated in a suitable protocol for transport, e.g. RTP. iSAC codec delivers high-quality speech in both low-bit rate and high-bit rate voice applications.
