Opticodec-PC offers the best available tradeoff between audio quality and bitrate.
Compared to MP3, Opticodec-PC provides a better than 60% improvement in audio
quality versus bitrate, reducing network streaming bandwidth requirements and
costs accordingly. At 32 kbps, Opticodec-PC streams offer close to FM quality, with-
out the phasey, watery character of other codecs operating at this bitrate. Many lis-
teners prefer the audio quality of 48 kbps streams to FM.
There is a vast Internet and 3G wireless audience waiting for the entertainment-
quality audio that Orban Opticodec-PC and Optimod-PC can provide.
