- Permits suppliers to reduce occupied spectrum whereas remaining equal in hyperlink efficiency to narrowband.
- Decreases complete Energy Spectral Density (PSD) when the audio channel effectivity is met.
- Aligns with latest WMAS updates inside European Telecommunications Requirements Institute (ETSI).
