Yesterday, SingTel issued a media statement<\/a> in regards to their VoLTE and LTE improvements. Following closely, StarHub sent to media a statement to mention that they are also in the midst to upgrade their systems.\u00a0Today, I saw the news<\/a> that M1 had responded that they will be doing a similar upgrade this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is the statement from StarHub.<\/p>\n

StarHub successfully dialled Southeast Asia\u2019s first VoLTE call on its 4G network in Plaza Singapura last December, and will launch VoLTE service commercially by mid-2014. StarHub is also upgrading its 4G network to LTE-Advanced in order to offer maximum download speeds of 300Mbps. This network upgrade is expected to complete by the end of the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently, while you are on a call, and you need to consume data (ie. Surfing the Internet), it will be using the 3G network. And if you are on 4G, whenever a call comes in, it will switch to 3G to allow the voice call. This will cause some lag in connecting the call.<\/p>\n

With VoLTE, data and voice will be on 4G. Therefore, lag time will improve and consuming data while on voice call will be using the 4G network (faster).<\/p>\n

Seems like the consumers are the winners here. Looking forward to this improvements.<\/p>\n
