1O1O and one2free have turned on the first VoLTE (Voice over LTE) network in Hong Kong powered by Hong Kong’s Trusted Network. The full commercial launch is expected to take place in the first half of 2014, in line with projected device maturity in the market.
CSL’s VoLTE offers clearer voice, instant connection, and better quality video calls enabled by ZTE’s IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) solution. Customers will experience a clearer voice and richer multimedia experience, with a distinct improvement in video call quality with VoLTE.
VoLTE also allows 1O1O and one2free to achieve better spectral efficiencies and will increase network capacity and subsequently enhancing the 4G LTE experience.
“We are proud to deliver a trusted network that offers impressive speed, stability and broader coverage throughout Hong Kong, and that will carry a brand new and enriched voice and video experience for our customers,” said Phil Mottram, Chief Executive Officer of CSL.
1O1O and one2free are further enhancing its 4G network experience in the MTR. The upgrade of its LTE 1800MHz spectrum from 10MHz to 15MHz on the Island, Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, and Tung Chung lines were completed in early December and will be extended to cover all MTR lines by the end of 2013 subject to MTR’s schedule. This will give 1O1O and one2free a superior network experience on speed and capacity.
