Ezra has developed a solution to one of the top telecommunications problems, that of the compression of the speech signal to a low-bandwidth transmission. This technology will enable cost-effective and reliable speaking over the Internet, cellular telephones or video conferencing without impinging on the available bandwidths necessary for phone and data transmission or the necessity of adding bandwidths to meet the needs of these emerging technologies.
