G
G.711
ITU-T standard for audio encoding, used in ISDN and ->VoIP. It requires a 64 kBit/s band-
width.
G.722
ITU-T standard for audio encoding using split band ->ADPCM. The audio bandwidth is 7
kHz at a sampling rate of 16 kHz. There are several transfer rates ranging from 32 to 64
kBit/s, which correspond to different compression degrees. The voice quality is very good.
G.729
ITU-T standard for audio encoding with low bandwidth requirements, mostly used in VoIP.
The standard bitrate is 8 kBit/s. Music or tones such as ->DTMF or fax tones cannot be
transported reliably with this codec.
Gateway
Mediation components between two different network types, e. g., ->IP network and ISDN
network.
