Reliance Jio to Offer Superior Voice Quality on VoLTE

Reliance Jio has launched its 4G services and smartphones for its employees. The Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) features of the LYF branded phones are already attracting a lot of attention.

Voice on VoLTE

VoLTE will let Reliance Jio manage voice calls over LTE networks. It will offer High-Definition (HD) voice clarity and enhanced connectivity. The voice quality on VoLTE is much better than the voice quality on GSM. Voice on VoLTE is loud and crystal clear, and free from any background interference, cracking, or breaking of voice. Reliance Jio ensures that talking over VoLTEis so clear that one would think the caller is seated right beside them.

Reliance JioVoLTE services offer voice conference calls with up to 7 persons and video conference calls with up to 3 persons, on its high-speed 4G internet. In addition, users are also able to download and surf, even when on call.

Earlier, operators used 2G or 3G networks to carry voice, while LTE was used only to carry data. Now, with the help of LTE, operators like Reliance Jio transmit voice calls with greater frequencies, offering clear and detailed audio.

Reliance Industries has also partnered with mobile phone manufacturers like LG and Micromax for smartphones supporting VoLTE technology. They will soon be rolling out theirsmartphones.
