What is G.711?

G.711 is a narrowband audio codec standard published by the ITU-T. It's primarily used for audio signals in telephony, particularly in VoIP (Voice over IP) applications. It's known for its simplicity and low computational complexity, making it easy to implement even on low-power devices. G.711 offers two main pulse-code modulation (PCM) compression schemes: μ-law (used mainly in North America and Japan) and A-law (used mainly in Europe and the rest of the world). It encodes audio at 64 kbit/s.
