Telecom Lead India: Tata Communications has launched its international HD voice termination service.
The new service enables telecom operators to route international HD calls via end-to-end IP, without transcoding.
Tata Communications’ HD voice termination service will enable HD customers calling HD-compatible destinations internationally to receive the full HD experience.
Tata Communications’ network is connected to 210 mobile network operators via IP voice interconnect and 26 operators are HD-ready with 4 operators already in deployment for HD Voice on Tata Communications’ network.
HD voice will play a critical role in enabling MNOs to increase customer satisfaction and reduce churn on premium international calling and high-margin roaming.
Tata Communications says its focus on improving voice quality through innovations such as HD voice has led to 28 percent year-on-year volume growth from key retail service providers (MNOs and OTTs).
Michel Guyot, president, Global Voice Solutions, Tata Communications says, “We will leverage our community of IP-connected MNOs to quickly enable HD voice calls between the widest possible range of destinations, maximising the benefits of premium call quality for our partners and their end users.”
The company’s HD voice service is part of a strategy to enable mobile operators to capitalize on the latest technology innovations in the mobile broadband space via better inter-provider mobile service delivery and management.
