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

communicationservices 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 thetwo 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 EEsnetwork.
