GSM Codec IP Licensing?

Feb 23, 2005 3 Replies

Is there a consortium for IP licensing for use of GSMEFR,FR, AMR in telecom equipment?



If not how does a company go about insuring it won't get sued at some point if they are using the GSM codecs in their products?


You can ALWAYS be sued: at most, you can reasonably hope to win the lawsuit. Why don't you forget about GSM and use Speex

instead?

Probably because there a few vendors in the market which support GSM but not many commercial ones who do so with Speex...

Apart from that, GSM is computationally not nearly as straining as Speex is.

PS.: And even using Speex you are not safe that someone might sue you because they think you infringe on their IPs...

Thanks, but use of the GSM codecs is manditory in our application. Anyone know if there's a licensing consortium or where I can find IP licensing info? (Note we have the software implementations). E.g. for G.723.1A you can go to sipro.com
