[Anatoli just returned from the HD Communications Summit with some interesting insights about HD Voice. As I am pushing him to become a regular guest blogger here, he was kind enough to write about it for me here. He also has his own twitter account, so you can follow him @Anatoli1] To follow up on my previous post, “Can You Hear Me Now?“, I would like to continue talking about HD Voice. However, now I’m armed and dangerous – with

It seems like the multi-core revolution is here. Not just all around us, but even in our very own blog community.
