If you have been worried about background noise that impedes effective conversation during telephone conversation, then you need to hear this.
Leading telecommunication services provider in Africa, Airtel says it is introducing a new technology that has the capacity to minimise background noise in its networks across the African continent.
Airtel, a telecommunication giant originating from India, has operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa announced the launch of the mobile HD voice service for its subscribers in Africa in a statement made available by Vice President, Communications, Airtel Africa, Mr. Michael Okwiri.
The development comes as the first step in Airtel’s ambition to make mobile HD voice accessible in all its operations across the continent.
HD voice is the most significant improvement in voice communications in the past two decades.
Chief Marketing Officer, Airtel Africa, Mr. Andre Beyers, explained that Mobile HD voice offers crystal clear audio quality and would enhance user experience on Airtel mobile networks.
He said, “Surveys confirm that customers place a high value on HD Voice. The new service will enrich end-user experience for Airtel subscribers.”
Mobile HD Voice enables high-quality voice calls because it reduces background noise often heard on a regular call.
Airtel customers on 3G networks will experience a significant improvement in their voice communications as the new service will enable them to hear better in noisy environments, Okwiri said.
To enjoy the maximum benefits of this new technology, both the calling and the called party need an HD-Voice compatible mobile phone.
Nonetheless, improvements in call quality are also perceived when using an HD voice-enabled phone to call a non-HD Voice phone.
