The BuddyTalk platform offers a variety of methods for users to set up, manage and tear down calls for flexibility and ease of use.

Use a standard telephone for calling through the device’s FXS port.
The tablet controller provides a touch-based GUI to use the numeric key pad or contact list to make calls, check call history, control volume, or even make use of the Action button.
Hands-free Speakerphone
During the call itself, BuddyTalk products allow users to employ several different voice communication methods: hands-free speakerphone mode, smartphone-based private voice mode, and using a standard telephone for privacy.
Private Voice Mode
The BuddyTalk suite of products employs high-quality audio codecs (e.g. Wideband Opus), advanced acoustic processing (e.g. acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction, beamforming, de-reverberation, far-field mic pickup etc.), and network impairment handling (e.g. NetEQTM, adaptive jitter buffer, packet loss concealment, etc.) to deliver superior voice quality to its users.
BuddyTalk devices are highly secured, applying HTTPS, HTTP2, and TLS protection over messages and signaling exchanges, and SRTP and ZRTP over voice media.
Certified by Amazon AVS, the BuddyTalk platform supports a broad range of AVS smartspeaker features such as standard Alexa questions & commands, timers, alarms, reminders, and voice-enabled control of AVS-supported IoT devices.
