HD (high definition) voice is now available in Malta as a result of a recent upgrade to the SKY Telecom voice platform.

HD voice technology, only available in Malta on the SKY IP voice platform, uses the latest codec to effectively double the sampling rate of the caller’s voice, producing a crystal clear, rich sound, never previously heard from a phone call. “The quality is comparable to an HD movie using digital AAC sound, the same quality adopted by the Apple iPod for music,” said John Dougall, managing director at SKY Telecom.

Mr Dougall added: “We are now proudly leading the way in our field, using the latest IP technology and providing the highest quality voice services available in the world today. This again demonstrates how investment in R&D in our industry is clearly focused on IP based technologies.” “The days when quality issues for the consumer were a concern with IP voice services are certainly a thing of the past. For quality, functionality and cost effectiveness, IP voice technology has left traditional telephony services far behind,” he said. HD voice is currently available on the SKY Virtual PBX service and will be made available on all of SKY Telecom ’s existing voice services in the coming weeks.
