Qualcomm cVc

Qualcomm cVc technology has proven to maintain voice clarity for inbound and outgoing calls, even in noisy and poor-connectivity environments. That’s exactly why leading OEM brands have deployed it in millions of devices around the world.

Bluetooth voice calls sound better than ever

Superior voice quality in any environment

Qualcomm cVc's suite of advanced voice‑processing algorithms operate on both the transmit and receive paths of a call—for superior voice quality, every time.

Natural, echo-free conversations

Background noise and echos are suppressed in real time, giving consumers optimized call clarity on incoming and outgoing calls. Speech is understood and distinctive voices are easy to recognize.

Consistent quality in challenging RF conditions

Even in situations where 5G or Wi-Fi connectivity is slow or erratic, Qualcomm cVc manages to keep call quality consistent.

Instant clarity right from the start

Adaptative noise reduction algorithms in cVc converge very quickly at the start of a call ensuring the very first word is clear.

More mics, more dynamic sound

Our multi-mic noise suppression filters out environmental sounds and background chatter, while adaptive equalizers adjust sound profile dynamically as conditions change around consumers—ideal for calls on the go.1

AI-powered voice and call optimization

For more natural two-way conversations, cVc applies acoustic echo cancellation and automatic gain control to keep voice levels consistent, regardless of a consumer’s speaking distance.

Premium call quality even in poor-connectivity environments

Howling control, nonlinear processing, packet-loss, and bit-error concealment not only prevent feedback and distortion but also maintain consistent voice quality even when RF connectivity is compromised.
