WIND Mobile trials LTE and launches HD voice

Canadian operator, WIND Mobile has announced the trial of a live LTE network, and the introduction of High Definition Voice Calling across its network.

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is currently being tested by Rogers, Bell, TELUS, and also other Canadian carriers are planning to upgrade to this new technology, while WIND Mobile has just conducted a successful 4G live trial (commonly known as LTE ).

In addition, Huawei and WIND recently announced a partnership that will bring HD Voice to their customers.

HD Voice is a technology that provides improved audio quality and the reduction of background noise. Canadian WIND Mobile is the first career that delivered HD voice in North America. At the moment, the HD Voice service only works on selected handsets.

“We’re very proud of our network quality and of the efforts of our people to perform ongoing and rigorous testing to maintain quality and advance innovation,” said Ken Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of WIND Mobile.

HD Voice and the LTE test are examples of the technologies WIND Mobile is uniquely positioned to offer.

It started out as rumors yesterday and before the day has even come to an end I am seeing “almost” official news that says the iPhone will soon be available on Bell and Telus.

It has been a known fact that both Bell and Telus have been advancing their 3G technology but the news that they will be ready earlier than anticipated is definitely a surprise to many.   My personal opinion is that both companies have seen what the iPhone has done for Rogers and the Canadian mobile industry as a whole and they knew that they had to get there fast.   This says a lot about Bell and Telus and their ability to speed through innovation when it seems necessary but it says more for Apple as a company that creates markets.   Apple is not a company that tries to gain market share, they are a company that creates their own markets and then enjoys the fruits of its work.  Congratulations to Apple for single-handedly developing a market for mobile data consumption.
