What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
The codec is fully standardized and EVS-compatible, but real-world deployment is at the multi-vendor demo stage with handset/network dependencies still maturing
Next
Watch for first commercial VoNR carrier launches and handset firmware enabling IVAS post-MWC-2026 before scoping any voice integration

Constraints
