Nokia Achieves Milestone with First 3D Spatial Audio Call

The groundbreaking call, made over a 5G network, promises a future of more lifelike voice interactions.

Nokia's new technology uses 3D spatial audio to enhance call quality, making conversations more realistic.
The call was made by Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark using a regular smartphone on a public 5G network.
This advancement is part of the upcoming 5G Advanced standard, which will include the 3GPP Immersive Video and Audio Services (IVAS) codec.
The technology could revolutionize conference calls by allowing voices to be heard from distinct spatial locations.
Widespread adoption of this technology is expected to take a few years as network providers and manufacturers implement the new standard.
