The POLQA standard was developed during 2006-2011 by leading industry experts within ITU-T Study Group 12, from the requirement for a technology upgrade of its predecessor from 2001, PESQ (ITU-T Recommendation P.862), and a competition carried out to define the 3rd generation of perceptual voice quality metrics. POLQA - originally derived from the ITU working title "Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Analysis" - offers an advanced level of benchmarking accuracy and adds significant new capabilities for
The POLQA perceptual measurement algorithm is a joint development of OPTICOM, SwissQual and TNO, protected by copyrights and patents and available under license from OPTICOM as software for various platforms. The POLQA Coalition has further advanced P.863 by developing a new Edition 3, available as version v3, “POLQA 2018”, which was consented by ITU-T SG12 in February 2018.
To date, 111 vendors and operators license POLQA/P.863 for their products or for use during development, design and optimization of mobile phones, Smartphones, network components, or services.
