1.2 REPORT DESCRIPTION

HD voice or wideband audio is a vital area for the Internet Protocol (IP) communications industry. This technological segment is currently garnering a lot of attention from major telecom players. This technology has the potential to bring in huge improvements to enterprise Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) platforms, such as conference servers, call center servers, and unified communications. HD voice promises to bring improved call clarity and better user experience to voice communications.

As VoIP has evolved to be more established right through business and personal communications, it has now become imperative to understand the full potential of this technology and how it can significantly improve the day-to-day communication related experiences. The adoption of new communications technology, especially IP has thereby created an opportunity to take the power of voice communications to the next level. Thus, by far, the emphasis has been on high quality VoIP applications and HD voice.

HD voice services can sustain all types of voice-based communications, including video conferencing, audio conferencing, web conferencing, multimedia conferencing, audio broadcast, and announcement services. Although HD voice is largely a mobile-to-mobile feature, mobile devices can correspond with all types of devices whereby phone calls can be made linking HD-enabled phones, landline phones, VoIP- based devices, and circuit switched mobile devices.

HD voice plans to offer consumers and enterprise users a perceivable and comfortable high-quality voice communications experience, which is highly appreciated by subscribers. The technology behind HD voice has been around for quite some time now; however, it is only in the past few years that it has gained the thrust needed to be successful.

Core competencies of the companies are captured in terms of their key developments, SWOT analysis, and key strategies adopted by them to sustain their position in the market.

HD voice has been the focus of discussion amid the VoIP community for quite some time. Presently, there are several telecom players that support the HD voice standard codec and the enterprise HD network.

However, the problem arises when the handsets are not equipped to provide HD services. This at times acts as an obstacle to the deployment of HD voice services among users.

The report analyzes the significance of implementing a new voice system that would offer a flexible platform for both narrowband and wideband codecs, for supporting both Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and IP so that the movement from TDM to IP is achieved without any extreme network changes.

The global HD voice market has been segmented on the basis of applications, access types, user types, and regions. Application type is further sub-segmented into video conferencing, audio conferencing, web conferencing, multi-media conferencing, audio broadcast, and announcement services. Access type is sub- segmented into mobile and broadband. User type is classified as enterprise user and consumer.

The global HD voice market is segmented on the basis of regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia- Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. The global HD voice market is provided for each region from 2014 to 2019. The report profiles the leading companies, such as Ericsson, AT&T, Orange, Verizon Communications, Polycom, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Broadcom Corporation, Alcatel-Lucent, Deutsche Telekom AG, and Avaya, Inc.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

HD Voice has been slowly advancing, with a gradual pace of business telephone systems’ adoption of VoIP technology.. However, a new anticipation has entered the mobile industry with the introduction of HD voice, also referred to as wideband audio. Though enterprises have progressively been moving to HD VoIP within their individual networks, rigid budgets and PSTN connections which operate narrowband audio codecs have minimized extensive acceptance.

With the prologue of mobile HD voice, consumers can finally experience this new technology directly, and the adoption to this is expected to progress quickly. This is largely because mobile users tend to adopt new technology rapidly by replacing their mobile devices on a regular basis. Therefore, the demand for HD voice is projected to increase with the accessibility of mobile networks.

HD voice has made a vast impact on both enterprise users as well as consumers by incorporating IP-based communication services in order to take advantage of the possible cost savings, and flexibility associated with this service. Several telecom operators consider that voice communication is and will continue to be the most valuable part of the communications ecological unit.

Moreover, the expansion of global businesses has augmented the significance of accurate voice-based communication among the end users. This is principally because many firms have global operations that they require to increase their revenues and profit margins, and hence, these firms tend to subcontract critical functions, such as call centers to workers in overseas countries. This in turn helps to evaluate the benefits of implementing HD voice services.

HD voice has taken longer to propagate mainly due to the lack of connectivity with the devices and network systems.. In the case of HD voice, it is the transcoding issue which requires end points to be linked together using divergent wideband codecs. However, by choosing a platform which supports multiple codecs, the benefits of wideband audio calls can be therein extended to the widest possible audience.

Also, the platform should be competent to sustain integration with the heritage TDM infrastructure, which can further affix a key functionality with the market evolution allowing it to migrate lucratively to the wideband audio. The global HD voice market is expected to grow from $XX million in 2014 to $XX million by 2019, at Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of XX% during the forecast period 2014 -2019.
