Ooma’s Call Quality
At Ooma, we understand that call quality is a top priority for our customers. That’s why we’ve developed a multifaceted approach to ensure crystal-clear audio on every call.
One of the key ways we maintain high call quality is through our Quality of Service (QoS) feature. QoS prioritizes voice traffic over other data traffic on your network, ensuring that your calls are given top priority. To make sure QoS is set up correctly, we recommend configuring it based on your internet speed. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Configuring Quality of Service (QOS) guide.
In addition to QoS, we also use advanced voice compression algorithms to minimize bandwidth usage without compromising sound quality. Our algorithms work in real-time to adjust to fluctuations in your internet connection, ensuring that your voice remains clear and uninterrupted.
We’ve also designed our hardware to optimize voice quality. Our devices are engineered to reduce interference and background noise, providing a clear and crisp audio experience. Additionally, we’ve implemented a proprietary technology called PureVoice HD, which enhances voice clarity and reduces background noise even further.
But don’t just take our word for it. We encourage you to listen to audio samples from Ooma and our competitors on our residential VoIP page. The recordings, captured in a situation with 30 percent data loss, demonstrate the striking difference between Ooma’s crystal clear voice quality and the competition.
Overall, we’re confident in the call quality that Ooma provides. If you ever have any issues with call quality, our Troubleshooting Voice Quality guide is a great resource to help diagnose and resolve any problems.
