'Orange launches HD voice for mobiles in Moldova'
Sep 11, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) --
Orange has chosen the Moldovan market to launch the world's first
high-definition voice service for mobile phones at 9:09 pm on 09
September 2009. Orange Moldova will use HD sound to provide its
customers with significantly improved quality thanks to what the group
describes as the first major evolution in mobile voice technology since
the 1990s. The Nokia 6720c is the handset with integrated HD voice
capability being offered by Orange Moldova, whose 3G network covers 63
percent of the population and was recently upgraded to 14.4 Mbps. The
Nokia phone uses Adaptive Multi Rate - WideBand (AMR-WB) technology,
expected to become a new standard by delivering a much richer, natural
sound and fading out background noise. Orange said it planned to extend
the range of HD voice-compatible mobile handsets across Europe, with HD
voice services to become available in the UK and Belgium by the end of
2010. The group believes that these phones will represent the majority
of the 3G handsets sold within five years. On the fixed-line front,
Orange introduced HD voice for VoIP in France in 2006, where it has
sold over 500,000 HD voice-enabled Livephone devices. The group said it
intends to rollout HD VoIP to other European markets such as Poland and
Spain.
