EVS was designed from the ground up to work with packet-switched services such as VoLTE (Voice over LTE). Fraunhofer calls it Full-HD Voice. The EVS codec allows bit rates ranging from 5.9 Kbit/s to 128 Kbit/s, which allows phone service providers to optimize their networks as needed.
Congress has 535 voting members: 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. The members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms representing the people of a single constituency, known as a district.
Every two years is considered one Congress (todayâs Congress is the 112th Congress. Each year is considered one legislative session. Therefore, we are currently in the first session of the 112th Congress). Five delegates are considered non-voting members. They represent the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (first representative elected in 2008), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico elects a resident commissioner every four years. While these six members donât vote, they are allowed to debate and sponsor legislation.
