VoIP Codec Trans-coding Server The dedicated VoIP codec transcoding server will run linux and highly optimized asterisk just for codecs translation. On top of codecs translation, this linux server can also be configured to act as your database backup server, cdr server and monitoring server. This server is fully managed and we take care of technical issues. Price for a entry level dedicated transcoding server is $150/month Translate between the following codecs:
- g723
- g729
- gsm
- alaw
- ulaw

This would be your typical call flow process
Customer -> YOUR_SERVER -> Gateways
With Transcoding, it will be like this
Customers -> YOUR_SERVER -> Transcoding server -> YOUR_SERVER -> Gateway
This way, it will not impact your customes and gateways billing.
Example: Suppose a customer uses his mobile and sends calls to your in GSM, but your gateway only supports g723. In this case, the call flow is
Customer ---[GSM]---> YOUR_SERVER ---[GSM]---> Transcoding Server ---[G723]---> YOUR_SERVER ---[G723]---> GATEWAY
Your default routes are also not affected. Lets use this example Customer wants to call India.
Assume customer is cust01 and gateway to india is gwIndia01 .. So your dialing-plan would be something like 91 -> gwIndia With Transcoding, what you will do is For the customer, add dialing prefix say 77 and route 77 to Transcoding Server. The Trancoding server will tranlate the codec as well as return the call with the 77 removed, which will then follow normal dialing-plan already set in the server. For any customer that need their calls to be translated, all you need to do is add a dialing prefix which routes all calls for translation.
With Example of above, this will be something like this
Customer (dials 91234567890 ) ---[GSM]--->
YOUR_SERVER (adds 77 prefix in the dialing plan for customer, and sends all calls wtih 77 to transcoder-server )---[GSM]--->
Transcoding Server (this will first convert the call to g722 and remove the 77 so call comes back as 91234567890)---[G723]--->
YOUR_SERVER (now receives the original calls with g723 as well as the real number as entered by customer and routes to gateway )---[G723]--->
GATEWAY
