Using the AMR-NB Codec
Note
You must buy a license to access the DSPWare that supports the AMR-NB codec. It is recommended that
you purchase a Cisco SMARTnet contract in order to streamline the process of getting the AMR-NB
codec DSPWare. When obtaining your license, use the following part numbers:
FR535XM-AMR-LIC for the Cisco AS5350XM
FR54XM-AMR-LIC for the Cisco AS5400XM
For more information, contact your Cisco representative or visit the following Cisco.com website to
obtain a Cisco SMARTnet contract:

The Adaptive Multirate Narrow Band (AMR-NB) codec is a high complexity multimode codec that
supports eight narrowband speech encoding modes with bit rates between 4.75 and 12.2 kbps. The
sampling frequency used in AMR-NB is 8000 Hz and the speech encoding is performed on 20 ms speech
frames. Therefore, each encoded AMR-NB speech frame represents 160 samples of the original speech.
The AMR-NB codec was originally developed and standardized by the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute (ETSI) for Groupe Speciale Mobile (GSM) cellular systems. and chosen by the Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as the mandatory codec for third generation (3G) cellular
systems.
