Richer communications with other Office Communicator users
When in a conversation with another Office
Communicator participant, users have more
options than with a traditional phone call. With
Office Communicator 2007 R2, users can add text,
video, or desktop sharing to the call (see Figure
45).

In addition, because of the use of wideband
codecs, the audio between Office Communicator
users is more natural and intelligible than the
audio most people are used to from traditional
PSTN, cellular, and IP telephony systems. This high
quality is available at a low bandwidth (about 28
kilobytes per second), making it ideal whether
making calls from inside corporate networks,
during travel, or from a home PC.
