2. Orion Telecom Networks Inc. 2005 Introduction VCL-LD TM E1, DCME (Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment) Voice Compression Equipment. Provides 30, "toll quality" voice channels using an 8:1 compression ratio (10:1 Compression Ratio without the signaling channel), in a bandwidth of 256kbps*. This is accomplished using an advanced digital signal processor (DSP) based Virterbi decoder with automatic voice/silence detection (VAD) and adaptive comfort noise generation (CNG). ITU-T G.703, G.704 interface compliant. E1 signaling support for R2, CAS (ABCD) Digital Signaling, PRI ISDN (Q.931), SS7 and C7 Signaling. Proven to outperform CELP, RELP, VSELP, MELP, ECELP, MP-MLQ, LPC-10 and other competitive technologies. Highlights E1, 30 Toll-Quality voice channels in 256Kbps of bandwidth. 8:1 compression ratio (10:1 without signaling channel). Supports fax and data modems @ upto 33.6Kbps data rates. 128 ms. adaptive Echo Cancellation. DSP based Vertibi Decoder for superior voice quality. 3U high, compact construction. Extensive set of alarms. User selectable clock sources. Support fax and data modems @ upto 33.6Kbps data rates. VCL-LD, E1 Voice Compression Equipment Slide 2
