NESC

Fraunhofer has applied innovative AI-based technology to a new generation of voice codecs, Fraunhofer NESC, which reduces the required bitrates to some 1 kbit/s or less. Satellite and mobile operators may soon begin to offer reliable NTN audio messaging and voice services at a large scale with Fraunhofer NESC and audio quality as good as or even better than terrestrial calls.
