VoLTE is the next
major advancement in
LTE; customer
benefits include faster
call setup times
(almost twice as fast)
and HD Voice.
Launching VoLTE is
our first step toward a
host of rich
communication
services and
additional innovations
around Wi-Fi calling.
May 22, 2014
We believe the
combination of this
robust network along
with the new features
is going to create a
new, meaningful
experience for our
customers for their
calling needs.
HD Voice and video
calling would be the
two main services
initially offered
through VoLTE
technology.
May 20, 2014
EE has announced
plans to launch
VoLTE, with a VoWiFi
service both
promise improvements
in quality-of-service
over traditional circuit-
switched calls.
Both services are
enabled via an IMS
capability in EEs
network.
