Development of wideband handset for high quality IP telephone service trial

Since 2007, high quality IP telephone service has been provided over a Next Generation Network (NGN) developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) Group of Japan. Prior to the commencement of service provision, a wideband telephone handset was developed on an experimental basis and tested in a field trial to verify service validity. The handset demonstrated improved characteristics over those of conventional telephone handsets.
