Wainhouse Research lauds breakthrough Lost Packet Recovery technology

Polycom also announced availability of a whitepaper produced by Wainhouse Research on the breakthrough Polycom Lost Packet Recovery™ (LPR™) technology, which helps protect IP video calls from the damaging impact of packet loss, providing a more consistent, high-quality experience in typical public and home broadband network environments, where moderate levels of packet loss are common. LPR is currently available on Polycom HDX HD video endpoints, Polycom RealPresence™ Experience (RPX™) and Polycom Telepresence Experience (TPX™) telepresence solutions, with extension to additional Polycom video endpoint and infrastructure solutions in the near future.

"After placing several hundred test calls between various systems, Wainhouse Research has concluded that LPR's ability to protect the video call experience from the effects of packet loss is exceptional," said Ira Weinstein, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research.

The Wainhouse Research whitepaper noted several strengths of Polycom LPR technology including:

• "LPR's performance is especially strong when tackling packet loss of five percent or less, making LPR well suited to address the vast majority of network situations."
• "While most of the video systems on the market today include some form of packet loss / error concealment capability, Polycom LPR uses forward error correction (FEC) to recover lost data."
• "One of LPR's differentiators and strengths is that it protects all parts of the video call, including the audio, video, and content / H.239 channels, from packet loss."

"Polycom offers customers the best high definition video experience and the broadest portfolio of fully interoperable telepresence and HD visual communications solutions for different business, application, facility and budget requirements. These solutions work together to connect an organization's entire knowledge network, and they can integrate seamlessly into the communications networks customers already have," said Joe Sigrist, senior vice president and general manager of video solutions at Polycom.
