The good grade speech quality and rate of 8300 bps positions this coder as the ideal low cost solution for speech over the Internet. The low bit rate enables speech transmission over either V.34 or V.32bis modems. At V.34 data rates multiple speech channels or multimedia applications such as simultaneous voice and data may be supported on a single telephone line.

The small frame size of this codec provides low end-to-end delay. A powerful frame reconstruction algorithm yields exceptionally robust performance in the presence of channel errors. The low delay characteristics and good tandeming performance make it ideal for multiparty conferencing. Modest memory and processing power requirements enable implementations of this coder in either Pentium™ or on inexpensive DSPs. The SX8300P is interoperable with the higher specification SX7300P speech codec.
