Huawei said KPN Netherlands and China Mobile networks conducted Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based Voice over LTE (VoLTE) roaming call.

The Chinese telecom network vendor said this is the mobile industry’s first international IMS based VoLTE roaming call between Europe and Asia.

KPN Netherlands initiated the IMS-based call to connect China Mobile utilizing IBASIS as a tandem office. The objective of the test was to verify the commercial deployment of international VoLTE roaming. During the call, high-fidelity voice and video capabilities were tested and provided a strong foundation for long distance communication.

Long Jiping, vice president, Huawei Core Network, said: “As 4G evolves Huawei will continue to work with both operators to stimulate a smooth network evolution from 3G. This will bring higher quality service experience to their users.”
