Coding Technologies’
MPEG-2 AAC-derived codec, called aacPlus, was published in 2001 and submitted to the
MPEG for standardization. The codec would become the
MPEG-4 High-Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) profile in 2003.
XM Satellite Radio used aacPlus for its streams. aacPlus with
Parametric stereo, called enhanced aacPlus, would become MPEG-4 HE-AACv2. The technology was adopted by Qualcomm in 2004, allowing it to be integrated into wireless handsets. Lars Liljeryd, Kristofer Kjörling, and Martin Dietz received the
IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award in 2013 for their work at Coding Technologies, developing and marketing SBR-based audio coding. == External links ==
