Hughes Enterprise VoIP employs the innovative Hughes ActiveQoS™ technology to ensure proper treatment of voice packets on an end-to-end basis. This patent pending technology monitors the network capacity in real-time and applies dynamic rate limiting and prioritization to control packet loss and jitter, resulting in high-quality voice calls.
