Question What technology does 8x8 use? Answer 8x8 uses a standard voice-over-IP protocol (VoIP) with proprietary 8x8 software that allows 8x8 devices to work on IP networks that employ address translations (NAT) and firewalls. 8x8 also uses advanced voice compression protocols to maximize voice quality and minimize latency over IP networks. In many instances, 8x8 voice quality exceeds that available on traditional or cell phone networks. FAQ ID: 70216 Last Modified: 2/8/2010 11:14:00 PM
