Tata Communication takes HD voice mainstream with the launch of its HD voice compatible voice network HD voice service enables MNOs to take advantage of increased revenue opportunities by exchanging HD voice traffic over their existing IP interconnect, bringing unrivalled call quality to end-users Tata Communications has launched its international HD voice termination service. The new service enables mobile network operators (MNOs) to route international HD calls via end-to-end IP, without transcoding, ensuring that HD customers calling HD-compatible destinations internationally will receive the full HD experience. The launch will become the platform that enables a broad community of HD destinations as a result of Tata Communications` network which is connected to 210 mobile network operators via IP voice interconnect. Twenty six of these operators are HD-ready with 4 operators already in deployment for HD voice on Tata Communications` network. HD voice service ensures that calls are clearer and background noise is significantly reduced, leading to longer calls and increased revenues for MNOs. 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. The improved quality of HD voice simulates a sense of being in the same room during a telephone conversation; hence, users are likely to spend longer on calls. A better calling experience also gives mobile operators a competitive advantage over OTT providers in terms of quality of service. In line with increasing demand for next generation communication services including the rise of HD voice-enabled smartphones, Tata Communications has created a community of MNOs globally, delivering better inter-provider mobile service delivery and management through its IPX+ connectivity platform. The company`s HD voice service is part of a strategy to enable mobile operators to capitalise on the latest technology innovations in the mobile broadband space via better inter-provider mobile service delivery and management. Tata Communications` voice capabilities are anchored by its network of submarine and terrestrial cables as well as a tier-1 IP backbone with connectivity to over 400 PoPs which reach more than 200 countries and territories.
