The methodology and results of the tests event will feed into an ongoing process to refine the standards under the leadership of ITU-T Study Group 12 (Performance, QoS and QoE). All tested mobile phones in narrowband and wideband mode respond with “ok” to the “AT+NREC=0” command, indicating that the internal signal processing (noise reduction, echo cancellation) is disabled. (...) Only approximately 40% of the tested mobile phones can be regarded as fully transparent, as required. (...) Additional tests without sending the “AT+NREC=0” command to the mobile phones (relevant for Bluetooth®headsets also communicating with mobile phones via the Hands-Free Profile) found that approximately 25% of the mobile phones disabled internal signal processing even without being requested to do so.
