Via adds new licensors and publishes Voice Codec pool rates

Via’s latest update makes the Voice Codec pool easier to evaluate and potentially easier to adopt: implementers now have the full EVS and IVAS rate structure, not just a partial view. The addition of a new licensee and two licensors also shows the pool gaining both demand and patent coverage. In the broader licensing ecosystem, Via is positioning aggregated SEP licensing as the cleanest route for EVS and IVAS, especially as 5G, 5G-Advanced, and spatial-audio use cases expand. The next concrete signal to watch is whether Via’s public license-fee page shows more licensors or additional licensees joining the pool.
