This LC3 codec was designed as a low complexity communications codec within the Bluetooth LE Audio specification, to deliver high-quality speech and audio streaming, even at low data rates, overcoming essential shortcomings in today’s wireless communication platforms.
A reduction of the required bit rate by roughly 50 percent compared to the legacy SBC codec facilitates low-energy audio services – making it possible either to extend products’ battery life or to create smaller devices.
