Voice quality and infrastructure

With your Gigaset A580 IP, you have the opportunity to make calls with good
voice quality via VoIP.
However, your phone's performance with VoIP – and therefore the voice quality
– also depends on the properties of the entire infrastructure.
The following components from your VoIP provider may impact performance:
u
Router
u
DSLAM
u
DSL transmission line and speed
u
Connection paths over the Internet
u
If applicable, other applications that also use the DSL connection
In VoIP networks, voice quality is affected by various things including the "qual-
ity of service" (QoS). If the entire infrastructure has QoS, voice quality is higher
(fewer delays, less echoing, less crackling etc.).
If, for example, the router does not have QoS, then the voice quality is not as
good. Please see the specialist documentation for further information.
