Whats AWB?
Adaptive Multi Rate – WideBand (AMR-WB) is a speech coding standard developed after the AMR using same technology like ACELP. The codec provides excellent speech quality due to wider speech bandwidth of 50-7000 Hz compared to narrowband speech codecs which in general are optimized for POTS wireline quality of 300-3400 Hz. AMR-WB is codified as G.722.2, an ITU-T standard speech code.
