Huawei has deployed Wide Band AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate)technology
for Canada’s WIND Mobile, allowing the operator to provide HD Voice
service to its customers across the country. The HD Voice service
boosts voice frequency bandwidth to 50-7000 Hz over the operator’s
Huawei-delivered core network. The announcement represents the first
commercial offering of HD Voice in Canada.
Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications
network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that
its core network is enabling WIND Mobile to bring Wide Band AMR,
otherwise known as HD Voice, services to customers across Canada. WIND
Mobile is the first wireless operator in Canada to provide this service
to its customers, allowing for a better quality, clearer voice service
experience.
Since 2008, Huawei has steadily grown its relationship with WIND
Mobile providing core network infrastructure as well supplying devices
to WIND's line-up of consumer and business handsets. Supporting the
first commercial launch of Wide Band AMR in Canada, Huawei will help
WIND Mobile grow its customer base in a highly competitive landscape.
Huawei's core network is customized specifically to meet WIND Mobile's
business needs, and will help provide customers with enhanced voice
frequency range from 200-3400Hz to 50-7000Hz.
"Our shared commitment to providing the latest technology innovations
to our customers made Huawei the clear partner to drive our business
forward," said Marius Armeanca, CTO, WIND Mobile. "Huawei was
instrumental in helping us create a technology that will do for phones
what high-definition did for television. With the customized Wide Band
AMR Service, our customers will realize superior voice quality and an
improved overall experience."
"We are proud to support WIND Mobile in this exciting announcement for
the Canadian market," said Charles Ding, President of Huawei North
America. "Huawei's expertise in customized core networks is the ideal
foundation for WIND Mobile's Wide Band AMR Service, and we are honored
to be part of the first Canadian initiative to provide this
high-quality voice feature to WIND Mobile customers."
