| Similar to 2005, the year
2006 again saw HEAD acoustics present itself at two major
VoIP events: for a repeated time as exhibitor at the largest
European VoIP event VON Europe in Stockholm (more than
3000 participants, 170 exhibitors, 250 speakers) and for
the second time as test laboratory for VoIP Germany in
Frankfurt, which has developed into the leading VoIP congress
on the German market (more than 45 exhibitors, 300 visitors,
40 speakers). At both events HEAD acoustics gave presentations
entitled "Issues in Delivering Voice Quality" and "VoIP
Speech Quality Tests". |
| While the exhibition part
was predominant at VON Europe, VoIP Germany, organized
by DVPT (German Association for Post and |
|
|
| "Live Tests" during
VoIP Germany 2006 |
|
|
| Telecommunication) as well as
the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce entrusted HEAD acoustics with
carrying out on-site "Live Tests". For this purpose the analysis
system ACQUA was used to run a specified set of voice quality
tests for selected VoIP products shown by exhibitors. The test
results contributed to the "VoIP Award" given to the three best
products and were summarized in individual reports handed out
to the participants after the event. The reports revealed to
them the quality position of their products in an anonymous
comparison and provided them with important hints on how to
optimize the voice quality of their products. |
|
| For 2007 both events have been
booked again. In addition, the American daughter company HEAD
acoustics Inc. will exhibit at Spring VON USA in San Jose (19-22
March, booth #1237). At VON Europe, which will again take place
in Stockholm (11-14 June), HEAD acoustics will contribute to
the conference panel "Dual Mode Phones" in addition to exhibiting
(booth #701). VoIP Germany will be held in Frankfurt (30-31
October) and will again feature "Live Tests" carried out by
HEAD acoustics. As in previous years, the Telecom division will
be presenting new products at the 33rd Annual Acoustics Conference
DAGA 2007 in Stuttgart (19-22 March). Particular attention should
be paid to the structured sessions "Speech in Motor Vehicles
I and II", which are filled with numerous presentations on speech
transmission, speech recognition, signal processing and testing
of speech communication in vehicles. |
