Mobile HD Voice based on AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate) Wideband technology (W-AMR) enables high-quality voice calls in mobile networks and an improved user experience. It provides significantly higher voice quality for calls between mobile phones supporting the feature, and can be implemented in GSM, WCDMA-HSPA and LTE networks. The higher voice quality using HD Voice improves the call experience and allows people to better share feelings, do business and communicate information. HD Voice transmits a broader spectrum of the human voice; therefore conversation is more natural and is likened to speaking to the other party in the same room. HD Voice also helps people hear better in noisy environments.
There is a global momentum as more mobile operators commit to this technology in their networks and launch commercial services enabled by a rapidly developing number of compatible phones arriving in the marketplace.
In this zone you will find GSA's global status reports of network deployments, launches, and trials, links to demonstrations, handset availability, presentations, white papers and more.

This chart summarizes the rapidly improved Mobile HD Voice user device eco-system for use on 3G/UMTS (i.e. WCDMA-HSPA), GSM and LTE networks (depending on the model), highlighting 127 commercially launched products. Activation of the required W-AMR codec will be operator-specific in some markets, and some products will not be available in all markets. However an increasing number of products are now shipping globally with HD Voice capability activated as default.
