HKT and Huawei launch the world’s first seamless Voice over LTE service

HKT (SEHK: 6823) - HONG KONG, May 15, 2014 – HKT and Huawei today launch Hong Kong’s first Voice over LTE (VoLTE) service, which is available via the market-leading Samsung Note 3 LTE smartphone.

HKT is the first operator in Hong Kong to offer its 4G customers a VoLTE service while Huawei is the first solution provider to support a commercially available VoLTE service based on the latest 3GPP R10 standard in the world. It is also the first time for Samsung to launch VoLTE enabled smartphones outside South Korea. HKT, Huawei and Samsung are shaping the future of mobile communications through their continuous technology innovation and investment.

The launch marks the world’s first commercial launch of the latest standard VoLTE technology (3GPP standard Release 10-based which enables a totally seamless handover of voice calls from 4G to 3G coverage), reflecting the growth and maturity of the VoLTE ecosystem in the marketplace. It also marks an important collaboration between HKT, Huawei and Samsung.

HKT incorporates Huawei’s state-of-the-art VoLTE solutions. Highlights of the new VoLTE service are:

Enables higher quality video and clearer sound, with significantly reduced background noise

Enables faster voice call set-up (around 1 second for VoLTE calls to VoLTE calls)

Enhances video call quality to 640 pixel x 480 pixel or above

Enables instant switching between voice and video calls

Mr. Alex Arena, Group Managing Director of HKT, said, “We are committed to providing the most advanced and compelling services to customers. Our game-changing VoLTE service will be offered to new and existing mobile customers. We are thrilled to work with Huawei to roll out the VoLTE service to customers and look forward to bringing it to more customers through Samsung Note 3 LTE now and potentially other mobile devices in future.”

Mr. Ma Haixu, President of core network product line, Huawei, said, “Built on Huawei’s network platform, the new service is the world’s first commercially available VoLTE solution using the latest R10 standard. The new service signifies Huawei’s leading position in the VoLTE market. We are focusing our efforts to ensure HKT’s VoLTE network is an industry benchmark in terms of service quality, innovation and return on investment.”

Earlier in May, Huawei was awarded "Best VoLTE Product" for its end-to-end voice and video over LTE (V2oLTE) solution at the 2014 IMS World Forum in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei’s IMS based VoLTE solution is currently being deployed in more than 21 networks. The launch of HKT’s VoLTE service is a great testament to Huawei's dedication and contributions to LTE deployment, emphasizing the leadership of HKT and Huawei in the VoLTE market.
