Ericsson makes Industry's First HD voice call on CDMA
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
· HD voice technology successfully demonstrated on CDMA technology
· HD voice significantly increases voice quality, intelligibility and
decreases listening fatigue in mobile networks
· Enhances the CDMA operator's ability to deliver differentiated voice
services and improves the subscriber experience
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has successfully completed a CDMA wideband High
Definition (HD) voice call using the Enhanced Variable Rate Codec Narrowband-
Wideband (EVRC-NW) codec, demonstrating a technical first for the CDMA industry.
CDMA HD voice delivers speech in a wider spectral range of 50Hz to 7000Hz, which
increases voice quality, intelligibility and decreases listening fatigue, even
in environments with high background noise.
Ericsson leads the industry in introducing new technologies with superior voice
quality. Ericsson consumer research shows that voice quality provides a key
differentiator between operator networks by improving subscriber retention and
increasing mobile usage.
"We have demonstrated the first high-definition CDMA voice call in the world
over an Ericsson network utilizing the new EVRC-NW 3GPP2 standard codec and
ensuring interoperability with existing functionality while easing the rollout
of future wideband services." says Surya Bommakanti, Vice President, Product
Area Core, BU CDMA Mobile Systems, Ericsson. "This is the starting point of a
voice quality revolution that will significantly enhance CDMA networks as we
know them today."
The Ericsson CDMA development team in collaboration with Qualcomm Incorporated
has reached this important milestone by successfully completing HD voice calls
in a lab environment on a CDMA voice network.
Ericsson is continuously enhancing its CDMA product portfolio to bring superior
voice capabilities to market for the benefit of CDMA subscribers and operators.
