• Quality of Service
B
ANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS
The BROADBAND MODULE and BROADBAND MODULE PLUS support two different codecs,
each with different bandwidth requirements. In addition to the bandwidth used by a codec, there
is also an overhead imposed by the various protocols used in transporting the IP packets as well
as signalling. When this is taken into account, the actual bandwidth required for each codec
increases significantly.
In order to ensure good voice quality, it is recommended that the following bandwidth is
available on the broadband connection for IP trunks and extensions

Codec IP Trunk or Extension
G.711 100 kb/s
G.729 50 kb/s
NUMBER OF VOIP CHANNELS
The following chart shows the bandwidth required to support up to 12 VoIP channels. When
calculating the number of VoIP channels that can be used over ADSL, always use the lower
(upload) data rate. Note that data applications for browsing etc., will require additional
bandwidth.
