New Features
The development team has packed many new features into FreeSWITCH. Among the most exciting are those that push the envelope of what is possible with VoIP. By teaming with Polycom, the FreeSWITCH team
has made it extremely simple for users to have access to Polycom's wideband (WB) and ultra-wideband (UWB) Siren(tm) family of codecs. Another exciting development is the addition of the 100% open-source CELT codec. CELT supports sampling rates as high as 48kHz, which is actually higher than the 44.1kHz rate used by traditional CDs. (As a proof-of-concept, Anthony and Brian ran FreeSWITCH on their Macs and Anthony played a guitar solo over a 48kHz session. Brian summed it up in one word: AWESOME.) These codecs are zero-cost alternatives to other patent-encumbered technologies, like G.729. As networking infrastructure improves, both in private networks and the public Internet, the use of WB, UWB, and HD telephony will become increasingly common.
