Nokia has demonstrated the first spatial audio phone call over a cellular network. Spatial audio uses the Immersive Video and Audio Services (IVAS) codec, part of the next-generation 3GPP standards. While we've all heard spatial audio before, doing it over a cellular connection is an industry first.
Nokia is a big contributor to the IVAS codec standards, which are part of 5G Advanced—the next generation of 5G that companies and researchers are hashing out to give us even more capability when it comes to using both our phones and other products like VR and gaming devices.
