Airtel Rwanda has officially launched Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology, bringing a host of benefits to its users. VoLTE marks a major step forward in mobile communication by offering enhanced call quality, faster connection times, and more efficient use of mobile data.
Here are the main benefits of the technology.
1. Superior Call Quality
With VoLTE, Airtel users can now enjoy HD voice quality, providing clearer, more natural-sounding conversations. The transition from traditional voice calls to VoLTE means reduced background noise and better voice clarity, making long conversations more enjoyable.
2. Faster Call Connection
VoLTE significantly reduces the time it takes to establish a call. Traditional networks often suffer from longer call setup times, but with VoLTE, calls connect in just a few seconds. This is especially beneficial for busy users who need to stay connected in a fast-paced environment.
3. Simultaneous Voice and Data
One of the standout features of VoLTE is its ability to support simultaneous voice calls and data usage. This means Airtel customers can continue browsing the internet, checking emails, or streaming content while on a voice call, without interruption or a dip in speed.
4. Efficient Use of Network Resources
VoLTE technology improves network efficiency by utilizing the 4G LTE spectrum for both data and voice services. This results in better resource allocation and reduced network congestion, ensuring faster and more reliable connectivity for all users.
5. Extended Battery Life
Unlike traditional voice networks, which require a separate network to handle voice calls, VoLTE runs entirely on the 4G LTE network. This results in more energy-efficient data transmission, which can help save battery life, especially during long calls.
6. Future-Ready Technology
As 5G technology becomes more prevalent globally, VoLTE provides a seamless transition for users to adopt future mobile networks. Airtel Rwanda’s introduction of VoLTE ensures that customers will continue to experience high-quality voice services even as mobile networks evolve toward 5G.
7. Enabling Video Calls and Advanced Features
VoLTE lays the foundation for high-quality video calling and other advanced services. With Airtel Rwanda’s new offering, users can expect a richer and more diverse mobile experience, incorporating features such as real-time video chats and enhanced multimedia sharing.
How to Activate VoLTE for Eligible Users
While VoLTE is available for most Airtel Rwanda users, some may not have automatically switched to the service. To enable VoLTE, users with compatible devices simply need to ensure that their phone’s software is updated to the latest version. In some cases, they may also need to activate the feature manually through their phone settings or contact Airtel customer service for assistance in switching to VoLTE.
