Patent abstract

A method and system for reducing the total bandwidth and number of packets utilized to transmit a voice transmission over a satellite connection is provided. RTP allows packets to store different sizes of an audio signal, including 40 and 60 millisecond. By increasing the amount of an audio signal that is stored in packets from 20 ms to 60 ms, the actual network bandwidth utilized by a compression algorithm, such as G.729, is decreased from over 25 Kbits to fewer than 17 Kbits and the amount of packets utilized to transmit the audio signal is reduced.
