すでに9億人以上のVoIPユーザが、広帯域の音声処理によるスカイプなどのインターネット通話アプリケーションをクリアなオーディオ品質で利用しており、携帯電話事業者は、広帯域コーデックを利用するサービスをアップグレードせざるを得ない状況にある。フランステレコム/オレンジ(France Telecom/Orange)は、すでに欧州でAMR-WBコーデックを使用する音声サービスをスタートしており、今後、その他のオペレータも他の地域でこれに倣うだろうと予測されている。技術的な障壁で採用が遅れる地域もあるものの、モバイル高品質音声技術は主要な地域でまもなく急速に普及し、2015年にはモバイルユーザ数は4億以上となるだろう。
この調査レポートは、広帯域音声処理の市場促進要因とエンドユーザの需要を探り、モバイル高品質音声とVoIPソリューションの相互運用性などの技術上の障害や問題も分析している。インフラのアップグレード、コーデック、マイクロフォン、スピーカ、端末の信号処理、音声認識などの、様々な領域で求められる技術向上の詳細を取り上げている。モバイルVOIPアプリケーションや、ケーブル事業者や有線事業者のワイドバンド音声技術の採用のインパクト、特にモバイル高品質音声のARPUの影響と5年間の市場概観予測も記載している。

More than 900 million VoIP users enjoy the clear audio quality of wideband voice processing on Skype and other Internet telecom applications, and pressure is building on mobile operators to upgrade their services to utilize wideband codecs. France Telecom/Orange have launched voice services in Europe using the AMR-WB codec, and other operators are expected to follow suit in other regions in coming years. Technology barriers will slow adoption in some regions, but Mobile HD Voice technology will accelerate quickly in key regions, resulting in more than 400 million mobile users by 2015.

This study explores the market drivers and end-user demand for wideband voice processing, as well as the technical barriers and issues surrounding the interoperability of Mobile HD Voice and VoIP solutions. Details of the technology upgrades required in multiple areas are highlighted, including infrastructure upgrades, codecs, microphones, speakers, and signal processing in handsets, and speech recognition technology. The study describes the impact of mobile VOIP applications, as well as the impact of cable operators and wireline operator adoption of wideband voice technology. In particular, the impact of Mobile HD Voice on ARPU is forecast in detail as a part of a comprehensive five-year outlook.
