Current Uses
In modern times, the main use of an AES (over an AEC) lies in the VoIP sector. This is primarily because AECs require a fast hardware, usually in the from of a Digital signal processor (DSP). For the PC market, and especially for the embedded VoIP market, this cost in MHZ comes at a premium. On embedded platforms, it is not unusual to find a Wideband CODEC (such as AMR-WB / G.722) incorporated in place of an AEC. This said, many (embedded) VoIP solutions do have a fully functional AEC.
Examples of AES in VoIP include: "X-Ten Eyebeam", X-Lite and Skype.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
—William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)
