Man has the industry missed the boat on this one so far--but not for much longer. Everyone is shooting at broadband for VOIP. But with all the demand, frequently all the broadband can muster is narrow band. KT-Tech can do Video and Voice Over IP (KT-V2OIP) starting at 4 kbps for 1-way (4 FPS QCIF)and 30 kbps for 2-way synchronous real-time (12-16 FPS at 80 kbps- concert quality audio for VOIP is around 60 kbps)...and they do it off a 85 KB software CODEC that also provides visibly superior images to MPEG-4 below 256 kbps in less than 0.01 seconds off a P-IV processor. Minimum CPU is a 200 MHz StrongARM- so grab your HP iPAQ, run down to your nearest hotspot and you could have a real-time VTC with your buds. Or you could fire up that 3G cell phone and do VTC anwhere. With this technology, why do you need an investment in specialized hardware anymore? So when that need goes away for dedicated hardware devices, what happens to those vesting their money in hardware solutions??
