  • a wideband speech coding unit configured to code an input speech signal at a bit rate which is set in advance in accordance with a wideband speech signal;

    an identification unit configured to identify whether the input speech signal is a wideband speech signal or a narrowband speech signal;

    a control unit configured to cause the wideband speech coding unit to code the input speech signal, when the identification unit identifies that the input speech signal is the wideband speech signal, and to cause the wideband speech coding unit to raise the bit rate to code the input speech signal, when the identification unit identifies that the input speech signal is the narrowband speech signal; and

    an output unit to output the input speech signal coded by the wideband speech coding unit.
