Howler has developed a suite of codec implementations called 'Howlets', that are highly optimised fo modern processors. We've applied our knolwedge of writing and optimising software for parallel processors such as the cell, to commodity CPUs from Intel and AMD.
After successfully porting the codec used by Caraya (our Cell-based product) to these general purpose processors, we found them to be substantially more performant than competing offerings when embedded in popular spft-Switches. As well as substantially improved scalability. Our embedded and distributed license manager allows for flexible licensing options, including our unique Floating License which allow you to pool channel licenses across several servers on a network segment.
Our first release delivers a high-performance G.729A implementation targetting Asterisk(R) abd FreeSWITCH, and ships as a drop-in binary module for ease of deployment.
G.729 is an industy-standard, Low Bit-rate codec (LBR), used in the majority of popular VoIP handsets and by many VoIP providers. G.279 uses significantly less bandwidth than the industry standard G.711 audio codec but maintains a high degree of audio fidelity, being designed for imperfect networks such as the Internet and WANs.
BenefitsAdd transcoding capability to your network.
Allow your business to transcode audio to and from G.729. Many business-class IP telephones and VoIP gateways include support for G.729. With our G.729 Howlet, your Asterisk and Freeswitch servers can now process G.729 calls more cost-effectively than ever before.
Increase your revenue
Adding transcoding capability to your network allows you to take on VoIP traffic from sources you previously weren’t able to. Our Howlet performance, pricing and flexible licensing means we can offer you the best possible price/performance codec product in the market.
Over 230 G.729 channels per dual-core processor
Our optimized Howlets offer over 230 channels of transcoding capability on Asterisk and FreeSwitch. This is 50% higher than the nearest competitor and 100% higher than libg729.
‘Float’ licenses across multiple servers
Our flexible licensing policy allows you float your G.729 Howlet license across multiple servers, not being fixed to one machine*. This allows you to offer transcoding capability across your entire infrastructure.
Get more traffic across your network
Because our G.729 Howlet is more performant than its competitors, you get more calls processed on the same hardware. This results in more traffic across your network.
G.729 Patent-holder royalties included
Our licenses include all sub-licensing from the codec patent owners. We manage all royalty payments to the patent holders and free you from this obligation. We’re pleased to offer the most economical per-channel price in the market.
