Ensuring Voice Quality
Voice quality perceived by the subscribers of the IP Telephony service should be
indistinguishable from that of the PSTN. Voice quality can be measured with such methods as
Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM), with a scale of 1–5, in which lower is better;
and Mean Opinion Score (MOS), with a scale of 1–5, in which higher is better.
