Causes of VoIP Communications Jitter

[tanjimajuha20]

There are three principal causes of jitter which we’ll look at individually:

* Congestion – The most common cause of jitter is network congestion. If there are too many devices and heavy levels of usage, there will be competition for bandwidth and this can lead to problems delivering VoIP packets.

* Wireless systems – Wireless hong kong telegram networks are hugely convenient when it comes to connections and to keeping your office free of cables. However, Wi-Fi isn’t always sufficiently stable or powerful for VoIP calls.

* Hardware – Networks are made up of numerous hardware components: routers, switches, gateways and more. All it takes is one of these to be badly configured, or for an Ethernet cable to be damaged and you could find yourself experiencing jitter on your calls.

Fixing jitter
Now we know what causes jitter, what can we do about fixing it? The first thing to do is carry out a speed test on your internet connection – there are many of these available online. Test it at different times of day and at different traffic levels so you can get a picture as to how things vary across the day.

Your internet connection is a major factor in the quality of your calls so you may need to look at upgrading it to get more bandwidth and a more stable connection. If you can’t get a better connection, you can consider installing a jitter buffer. This collects the VoIP call packets as they arrive and holds onto them until it has them in the right order, so ensuring the quality of your call.

Finally, you might want to look at your network hardware, installing a router designed specifically for VoIP can often help.
