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

Remote site B uses G.729 codec, but the ITSP only supports G.711. Therefore, a hardware transcoder is needed at site B to convert between G.729 and G.711 for calls to and from the ITSP.
