Nokia and Fraunhofer IIS achieved the first interoperable Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) call over Nokia's 5G IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
IVAS codec offers spatial/3D audio formats, including stereo, binaural, and Ambisonics, enhancing real-time communication for augmented reality and conferencing.
Supporting bitrates range from constrained mobile links to high-quality streams, preserving low latency for conversational applications.

Tymphany and Fraunhofer IIS have collaborated to integrate advanced audio technologies into Windows Audio Processing Object (APO) for seamless deployment.
The solution combines Fraunhofer upHear technologies with Tymphany's Flow DSP platform, offering AI-based voice enhancement and immersive spatial audio.
This integration eliminates the need for custom DSP hardware, leveraging the native Windows audio pipeline to deliver high-quality audio experiences.
