Forget everything you think you know about audio! The revolution in conferencing
technology is bringing exciting new changes to voice communications, whether
stand-alone or combined with video, and GBH Communications stands ready to show
you that hearing is believing.
Why Audio Conferencing?
The question is really not “why audio conferencing?” since virtually every company does some form of it, but rather “why should you reevaluate and upgrade your audio conferencing today?” The answer is that while there had been relatively few breakthroughs in the
field of audio conferencing over the last decade, today all that is changing.
While IP technology has dramatically reduced the cost of voice communications,
until now it has simply been a cheaper version of standard telephony. New
technological innovations, however, can enhance the quality of conference
calls, improve communication and collaboration and have a significant impact on
productivity.
In the global economy, the role of audio conferencing is critical and central.
We rely on it for communications and collaboration, but is this really
happening? People with speech patterns and accents from all over the world are
constantly speaking to each other about critical subjects. Without benefit of
visual cues, the potential for misunderstanding is enormous. Misheard words
cause confusion, confusion causes lack of attention, and the result will be an
increase in fatigue, a reduction of productivity and possible costly errors.
New high-definition, “super wideband” audio conferencing technologies dramatically reduce the potential for
misunderstanding. Increased audio bandwidth, new multidirectional
architectures, low noise sensitivity and new low-distortion speaker systems
make spoken words clearer and sharper. This exceptional audio quality reduces
strain, enhances the relationship between speakers and speeds time to
consensus. All told, new developments in both quality and connectivity make
this a new era in audio communications.
