G
G.711 a law, G.711 μ law 
Standard for a 
G.711 delivers a very good voice quality that 
corresponds to that in the ISDN network. As 
there is little compression, the necessary 
bandwidth is around 64 kbit/s per voice con-
nection, but the delay caused by coding/
decoding is only approx. 0.125 ms. 
"a law" describes the European standard and 
"μ law" describes the North American/Japa-
nese equivalent. 
G.722
Standard for a 
G.722 is a broadband language codec with a 
bandwidth of 50 Hz to 7 kHz, a net transmis-
sion rate of 64 kbit/s per voice connection 
and integrated speech pause recognition 
and comfort noise generation (silence sup-
pression). 
G.722 delivers very good voice quality. A 
higher sampling rate provides clearer and 
better voice quality than with other codecs 
and enables a speech tone in High Definition 
Sound Performance (HDSP). 
G.726
Standard for a 
G.726 delivers a good voice quality. It is infe-
rior to the quality with codec G.711 but bet-
ter than with G.729
G.729A/B
Standard for a 
The voice quality is more likely to be lower 
with G.729A/B. As a result of the high level of 
compression, the necessary bandwidth is 
only around 8 kbit/s per voice connection, 
but the delay is around 15 ms. 
Gateway
Connects two different 
s
e.g., a router as an Internet gateway. 
For phone calls from 
 to the telephone 
network, a gateway has to be connected to 
the IP network and the telephone network 
(gateway/VoIP provider). It forwards calls 
from VoIP to the telephone network as 
required.

GSM 
Global System for Mobile Communication
Originally, a European standard for mobile 
networks. GSM can now be described as a 
worldwide standard. However, in the USA 
and Japan, national standards were previ-
ously more frequently supported.
H
Headset
Combination of microphone and 
headphone. A headset enables a 
comfortable hands free mode. Headsets that 
can be connected to the base via a cable 
(wire-bound) or via Bluetooth (wireless) are 
available.
HTTP Proxy
Server via which th
s 
can process their Internet traffic. 
Hub
Uses one 
 to connect 
several 
s. All data sent to 
the hub by one network subscriber is for-
warded to all network subscribers.
