LG announces LTE voice/video calling

It is the first day of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and we already have some exciting news from LG – the company will demonstrate Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Video calling over LTE on its first 4G smartphone, the LG Revolution.

The “One Voice” protocol will deliver a boost in voice quality – one thing that hasn't improved that much in recent years. The standard is expected to be adopted by other cell phone producers in the future. LTE speeds and technology will allow for carriers to offer HD voice quality through Adaptive Multi-Rate wideband, while at the same time you will be able to keep your existing number.

“By showcasing the power of LTE, we hope consumers will better understand how fast mobile technology can be and help drive the industry closer toward this exciting reality,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
