Communication

Communication systems of the future will differ from today’s systems thanks to their perfect sound quality. Phone and videoconferencing will sound as natural as if the other person was in the same room. A reporter filing from a live event will sound as natural as if he was standing right beside his listeners. Sound quality will reach CD quality and there will be no annoying echoes or delay times when transmitting audio. Communication will be more flexible and personalized.This applies not only to video/teleconferences and audio transmission in broadcasting studios, but also to wireless microphones and loudspeakers. With Fraunhofer IIS communication technologies these cutting-edge applications are already a reality.
