Abstract

A conferencing system is described which includes a plurality of conferencing devices and a hub device. Each conferencing device is operable to process near-end speech energy signals to improve the intelligibility of the near-end speech, transmit the processed near-end signals to the hub device, receive far-end signals from the hub device, process the far-end signals, and present the processed far-end signals over its speaker. The hub device is operable to communicate with each of the conferencing devices and a voice communication system, selectively combine the processed near-end signals received from the conferencing devices, transmit the combined near-end signals to the voice communication system, receive the far-end signals from the voice communication system, and transmit the far-end signals to the conferencing devices.
