KPIs
Voice Quality MOS for smartphones and networks are vital for ensuring high-quality voice communication. By monitoring and analyzing key KPIs , telecom operators and device manufacturers can provide superior voice services, enhance user satisfaction, and maintain a competitive edge in the market. Some of the KPIs supported are:
-
MOS score POLQA
-
Call establishment Time
-
Duration in dialing
-
Call States
-
Call types
-
Call Distribution
-
Audio bandwidth
-
Mouth-to-Ear delay
-
Intermittent score every 8 seconds

Mean Opinion Score (MOS):
The Mean Opinion Score, or MOS as it is now widely known, assesses the quality of voice of calls using a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest quality) based on the scientific algorithm POLQA ™.
POLQA™ MOS scores:
-
Score 1: means that despite great effort, it is impossible to understand what is being said during the call (the call repeatedly cuts in and out).
-
Score 2: means the quality is not good and a lot of effort is needed to understand.
-
Score 3: indicates an acceptable level of quality and fairly understandable conversation.
-
Score 4: is a good quality level, understandable with minor interference noise.
-
Score 5: is an excellent quality level, understandable discussion without interference noise.
Factors Affecting Speech Quality: Several factors impact the MOS score in a telecommunications context, including:
-
Network Performance: Latency, jitter, and packet loss during transmission can degrade voice quality.
-
Codec Quality: Different codecs compress and decompress audio data, and their efficiency can affect sound quality.
-
Echo and Noise: Background noise and echo can also reduce the clarity and intelligibility of speech.
