Licensing and Guidelines

Logo Licensing Program

The GMSA HD Voice and HD Voice+ Logo Licensing Program enables a consistent industry message on the enhanced voice quality of terminals and networks featuring Super-Wideband voice communication.

The GSMA’s HD Voice+ Licensing Program requires compliance to minimum performance requirements, including proper interoperability with existing HD Voice and HD Voice+ systems.
