I-Evolve Technology Services introduces Hosted HD Voice Service into Western New York
HD (high-definition) voice is getting increasing attention from both users and providers of business VoIP services. It offers a number of advantages over standard voice calling, especially in business situations. It makes calls less fatiguing, and different accents easier to understand. Until now, small businesses have not been able to take advantage of the technology in Western New York. To fill the gap, I-Evolve has just added HD voice capability to its hosted phone service for SMBs.
HD voice delivers more than twice the clarity of ordinary phone calls then that of standard calls do. In practical terms, that means users can hear sounds more than two octaves lower, and quite a bit higher, than with conventional calls. The increased range makes it easier to distinguish between similar sounds such as s and f, and to understand unfamiliar pronunciation. Thus users don't have to work so hard to figure out what was said, a particularly welcome benefit during long conference calls.
I-Evolve's move makes HD voice available to users of its hosted "I-Communicate" business phone service. Customers need merely buy HD phones, and be talking to other users who also have HD phones, to take advantage of it. I-Evolve is currently selling Polycom business phones to those who are interested, including SoundStation conference phones and SoundPoint desktop phones. It will expand its range of offerings in coming months.
