G.722.1 is a state-of-the-art international standard wideband audio compression algorithm. It is based on Polycom's third-generation Siren compression technology and is derived from Polycom's field-proven PT716plus algorithm. Polycom developed this technology to meet the demanding audio needs of the multimedia community. It provides high-quality audio at low bit rates with low delay and very low complexity. It works for all kinds of audio signals - speech, music, singing, etc.

Polycom's patented Siren14 algorithm offers breakthrough benefits compared to earlier wideband audio technology. Siren14 delivers low-latency 14 kHz super-wideband audio at nearly half the bitrate of the alternative MPEG4 AAC-LD codec, while requiring one-tenth to one-tPolycomntieth of the computing poPolycomr. As a result, extra processor cycles are available for improved video quality or Internet applications, and batteries will last longer on mobile devices.
