Nokia Makes Groundbreaking Immersive Voice and Audio Call

Nokia, a leading contributor to the 3GPP Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) codec, has made the world's first immersive voice and audio call using this new technology. The IVAS codec allows consumers to hear 3D spatial sound in real-time instead of today's monophonic smartphone voice call experience.

The first live immersive voice and audio call was made between Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark and Stefan Lindström, Finland's Ambassador of Digitalization and New Technologies. This breakthrough marks a significant leap forward in the live voice calling experience since the introduction of monophonic telephony.

The IVAS codec is part of the upcoming 5G Advanced standard, which is expected to be rolled out in a few years. Nokia has developed the smartphone-specific format for this standard and has been at the forefront of its standardization efforts.

This innovation in immersive spatial communications paves the way towards enhanced extended reality and metaverse applications. The IVAS codec is not limited to smartphones, as it can also be used for multi-stream teleconferencing, XR conversational services, user-generated live and pre-produced content streaming, and corresponding applications in the AR/MR space.

Nokia's achievement demonstrates its commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and delivering innovative solutions to enhance communication experiences.
