What is G711?

G.711 is a narrowband speech codec standard published by the ITU-T. It is primarily used in telephony and VoIP applications for encoding audio signals. G.711 encodes a single channel of audio at 64 kbit/s. Two main versions are used: μ-law (used mainly in North America and Japan) and A-law (used in Europe and most of the rest of the world).
