Im using Motorola Canopy. This system adds a 30 - 40 ms of latency to the transmission. Does Vonage use a codec that can stand this much without compromising the QOS and how do I change it.

There are phone banks in Kuwait, but for troops stationed in remote areas or on the front lines the nearest secure telephone call may be 200 miles away. Now, a cadre of U.S. corporations is pitching in to address the problem. Led by SkyFrames Inc., Vonage and Motorola's Canopy™ division, the Freedom Calls Foundation [see sidebar] is providing modern communications equipment to the troops. The solution is a convergence of satellite, wireless, and Voip equipment and services that allows even troops on the front lines to hear the voices of family members for free.
I have been running 2 lines of Vonage over Canopy for several years with no issues.
Are you sure the Canopy system is adding that much delay ? I just pinged my providers border router at ~20mS, which is typical. Last time I checked, I was ~250mS away from Vonages routers - that's on the other end of my Canopy subscriber link, at least 2 Canopy backhaul hops and the fiber network at the ISP. That means the Canopy wireless equipment is only adding ~10% or less to the total delay.
I talked to Canopy tech support and a friend talked to 3rd level Vonage support and both said the same thing. Canopy and any other wireless adds 30 - 40 ms of latency. Are you sure thats what you are getting when you ping your ISP's edge router?
