EVS Codec

Overview

EVS (Enhanced Voice Services) Codec - High-Quality Voice & Audio for VoLTE and VoNR

The EVS codec, or Enhanced Voice Services codec, is a next-generation 3GPP standardized audio codec designed for superior speech and audio performance over modern mobile and IP networks. Developed for VoLTE and VoNR systems, EVS supports both narrowband, wideband and fullband audio, offering high-quality voice, improved resilience to network impairments, and support for audio up to 20 kHz. It is backward compatible with AMR-WB and is optimized for both real-time and streaming applications.
