Post# of 617763
LIMERICK, IRELAND--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2017) - One Horizon Group, Inc. (
The goal of this research 1 paper, which was presented at the SOFSEM 2017 43 rd International Conference, was to analyze how to improve mobile VoIP delivery through bandwidth optimizations. It benchmarked the world's most popular broadband VoIP applications measuring the actual voice-data throughput; including the headers for the physical, datalink, network and transport layers. Using Skype as the baseline, One Horizon was shown to be 8.88x more efficient than the baseline. A clear winner against the biggest VoIP services in the world.
| (kb/s) | Optimization Factor | ||
| Horizon | 12.76 | 8.88 | x |
| 35.75 | 3.17 | x | |
| Viber | 56.62 | 2.00 | x |
| 67.10 | 1.69 | x | |
| 86.68 | 1.31 | x | |
| Hangouts | 90.65 | 1.25 | x |
| 106.88 | 1.06 | x | |
| Skype | 113.37 | 1.00 | x |
Lower bandwidth consumption means that One Horizon is the only viable mobile VoIP technology for lower throughput 2G and 3G cellular networks. The GSMA Association, a trade body that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide, estimates that 6 billion people will still be connected to 2G or 3G cellular data networks in 2020 2 . The combination of low-cost smartphones, a retro-compatible mobile VoIP service and the prevalence of slower cellular data networks in developing nations represents a significant commercial opportunity for One Horizon to license its patented software.
Brian Collins, CEO of One Horizon Group, stated, "Scientific research of this kind really serves to strengthen our position as the world's leading optimized VoIP technology for smartphones. The developed world has benefitted massively from affordable VoIP calls using their fixed line infrastructure and, more recently, 4G broadband. However, developing nations rely on 2G and 3G networks to deliver Internet to smartphones and now, with our optimization technology, up to 6 billion users can finally avail of high-quality, affordable VoIP."
