Ethio Telecom has announced the launch of Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) service following the expansion of 4G network service infrastructure and improved access to services in various cities of the country.
According to the telecommunications firm, the technology enables voice communication over 4G/5G data networks and enables users with compatible VoLTE service supported/enabled smartphones and 4G/5G SIM cards to experience crystal clear voice quality during fast call setup.
“This service enhances the ability of customers to make and receive phone calls with superior audio and video quality, which is in line with the industry standard in the telecom sector,” Frehiwot Tamiru, CEO of Ethio Telecom revealed.
As the CEO highlighted, “VoLTE is an advanced technology that provides ultra-high-quality call quality, making voices clear with much less background noise compared to other standard voice calls. The technology allows users to stay online without interruption during voice calls.
In addition, Frehiwot also pointed out that users can seamlessly switch between calls and video calls.
Voice over Long-term Evolution (VoLTE) is a technology specification that defines standards and procedures for delivering voice and messaging services over 4G LTE networks.
Similarly, Tele has launched the Rich Communication Service (RCS) / Rich Business Messaging (RBM). This service enables individuals and institutions to send and receive a variety of real-time communications, including graphics/photos, video information, emojis, audio clips, and messages, as well as share locations beyond words with seamless media sharing capacity.
At the same time, the telecommunications giant launched a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) value-added services with the latest features and contents. The MMS allows customers to send and receive video and audio files, send multiple messages to different recipients simultaneously, send/receive messages of up to 1600 characters, and enables users to know the time the message has been received and read.
Similarly, the company doubled down on the Voice Mail Services (VMS), which was launched with the latest features allowing users to record, deliver voice messages to recipients, and store and retrieve messages at any time and any place. This convenient alternative to voicemail delivery service allows users to leave a voice message when a caller is unable to reach the recipient due to network coverage or any other reason.
