Ooma PureVoice HD

In today’s connected home environment with Internet file sharing, video streaming, online gaming, and more, there’s a lot of network traffic that your voice calls will need to compete with. PureVoice HD technology allows Ooma to deliver clear audio even when substandard calling conditions exist. Ooma PureVoice HD Technology is composed of five key components:

• Advanced Voice Compression: Ooma uses an advanced voice compression algorithm that consumes over 60 percent less bandwidth than standard VoIP technology. That leaves you with more bandwidth for your other online activities, and increases the likelihood that your voice traffic will be delivered.
• Wire-speed Quality of Service: Even though Ooma uses only a fraction of the bandwidth of standard VoIP technology, those packets need to arrive without delay for optimal quality. The Ooma Telo prioritizes voice packets without slowing down the rest of your network. This way you can enjoy crystal clear calls even as you’re uploading your latest video clips.
• Adaptive Redundancy: Network packet loss is the enemy of VoIP – dropped packets can cause voice to sound stuttered or garbled. The Ooma Telo detects packet loss on your Internet connection and automatically sends redundant packets to boost the clarity of your phone call.
• Encrypted Calls: Ooma takes your privacy seriously. We leverage the same encryption technology that governments use to protect classified data to protect your conversations. This makes Ooma even more secure than the traditional landline.
• High Definition Technology: HD Voice technology doubles the fidelity of your phone calls by capturing twice the speech information of a standard voice call. When you and the other caller both use an Ooma Telo Handset or other HD compatible phone, your voice will sound more natural than ever.
