What is the method that needs to be followed?

A company deploys centralized Cisco UCM architecture for a hub location and two remote sites.
The company has only one ITSP connection at the hub location, and ITSP supports only G.711 calls.
Remote site A has a 1-Gbps fiber connection to the hub location and calls to and from remote site A use G.711 codec.
Remote site B has a 1-T1 connection to the hub location and calls to and from remote site B use G.729 codec.
Based on the provided guidance, a Cisco voice engineer must design media resource management for the customer. What is the method that needs to be followed?
A. configure the hardware transcoder on the site B router
B. configure the hardware transcoder on the site A router
C. configure the hardware transcoder on the hub location router
D. configure the software transcoder on Cisco UCM to support voice calls to and from both remote sites

  1. Site A not connected to Site B directly, and connected through Hub, so if we put the Hardware Transcoder in Hub, that also can be used for Site A talks to Site B through Hub with Hardware Transcoder.
    Site B got limited bandwidth and that is why using G.729, so definitely the Hardware Transcoder should be in site Hub, so both Site A and Hub can use that Hardware Transcoder for communicate to site B. The correct answer is C.

  2. If you you are using G729 for remote location B, you are doing so to conserve bandwidth at the T1 link between Location B and the Hub Location. Converting from G729 to G711 at remote location B will force the traffic back to the hub location to be G711, which means that the G729 benefit (reduce bandwidth consumption) will not be used at all. This answer must be C (transcoder at the hub location).
