komprimieren

German to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) Telephony
From the description of a telephone company's services:

Im Telefonienetz von XXX werden Gespräche nicht komprimiert. Eine hervorragende Sprachqualität sowie das reibungslose Versenden von Daten (Fax, ISDN Modem) sind somit gewährleistet.

Is "compressed" the word that is used in English?

compress

Yes, da es sich um Datentransfer handelt, bei dem die Tonübertragung nicht zu einem kleineren Dateiformat geschrumpft wird. Deshalb leidet die Tonqualität nicht.
