PC Audio Bandwidth

The Savi W440 is supplied with narrowband audio as the default. Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-like fidelity. However, wideband audio consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of systems that can be deployed in a small area. All PCs support wideband audio.
