- Crystal clear and natural sound in HT LTE network through HD voice
- Faster call set-up times and superfast data transfer during telephoning
- Longer battery life on your mobile device
- Activation and voice services over HT LTE network without additional charges
Hrvatski Telekom’s customers will be the first in Croatia to use voice calls over the superfast LTE network. Voice service over HT LTE network (VoLTE) that has just been presented at the Mipro Conference will provide the customers with absolutely clear and natural sound, call set-up times standing at around two seconds, and superfast data transmission during telephoning, which will be available for Hrvatski Telekom’s customers starting from the end of May.
Activation and voice services over HT LTE network will be without additional charges, whilst the main prerequisite will be the adequate tariff plan, a VoLTE-enabled device and the corresponding software version. The first VoLTE-enabled devices provided by Hrvatski Telekom to have been available in Croatia to date are Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, whilst also the devices provided by other producers will soon be available.
LTE technology on which 4G network has been founded will provide the Croatian users for the first time with the opportunity of making voice calls at extremely high-speed data transmission rates that had previously been made exclusively over 3G and 2G networks. Primarily as a result of the new VoLTE services, the customers will witness a significantly higher quality of calls and shorter call set-up times compared with those made over 3G or 2G networks. Moreover, with VoLTE services the customers are given the opportunity to simultaneously make calls and browse the Internet enjoying extremely high quality formats (HD/UHD). VoLTE also saves energy and extends battery life of your mobile device, and hence the services will provide a highly superior customer experience for those fond of making many phone calls.
VoLTE services can be used in the area with HT LTE network signal coverage, that is, on most of the Croatian territory (LTE coverage map).
Hrvatski Telekom is continuing with intensive investment in its mobile network. At the end of 2016, outdoor 4G network coverage stood at 96.9%. During a one-year period, over 500 new 4G services have been launched, which has enabled Hrvatski Telekom to provide the highest coverage and the highest data transmission speeds. The speeds reached by HT 4G network currently stand at 262.5 Mbit/s in larger urban centres (bigger cities such as Split, Zadar, Šibenik, Sisak, Daruvar, Virovitica, Dubrovnik, Pula, Poreč, Rijeka, Rovinj, Zagreb, Velika Gorica, Čakovec, Varaždin, Požega, Slavonski Brod, Nova Gradiška, Đakovo, Vinkovci, Vukovar, Osijek, Bjelovar, Koprivnica...) and up to 150 Mbit/s throughout the remaining territory with 4G coverage.
