G.729 Howlet

Optimised audio codecs for Asterisk, FreeSWITCH & Callweaver

Our G.729 software codec includes patent royalties and is optimised to work on the leading softswitch platforms. It's GPLv2 compliant and compatible with 32-bit & 64-bit processors.

It Makes Business Sense
Add 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 codec, your softswitch can now exchange calls with these devices directly and 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 model means we can offer you the best possible price-performance 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, FreeSwitch & Callweaver. 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 G.729 Howlet licenses across multiple servers. Your licensed channels are not fixed to one machine*. This allows you to load balance licenses for redundancy and offer G.729 transcoding capability across your entire infrastructure.

Get more traffic across your network
Because G.729 is a low bit-rate codec and our Howlet has been highly optimised, you get more calls processed on the same hardware. This results in more traffic across your network at less cost.

G.729 Patent-holder royalties included
Our licenses include all sub-licensing from the codec patent owners and are fully GPLv2 compliant. 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.

*Floating license only available with our recurring license model.
