KTRN launches HD Voice over LTE in Rwanda #rwanda #RwOT

This innovative service is now available to subscribers across both urban and rural areas, offering Rwandans a new era of high-quality voice communication.

The VoLTE service allows 4G users to make and receive high-definition (HD) voice calls over KTRN's advanced 4G Network. Unlike internet-based applications like WhatsApp or Skype, VoLTE works directly through a 4G-enabled smartphone without requiring additional apps.

Users simply need a KTRN 4G SIM card and a compatible device that supports VoLTE to experience crystal-clear voice quality, faster call setup, and uninterrupted browsing experience during calls.

'At KTRN, we are constantly innovating to meet the evolving needs of our customers. The launch of VoLTE is a major milestone for Rwanda's telecommunications industry," said Daeheak AN (Aaron), KTRN's Chief Executive Officer.

"Our goal is to provide advanced, reliable, and affordable communication solutions that enhance the user experience,' he added.

KTRN, which boasts the widest 4G coverage in Rwanda with more than 98% nationwide coverage, promises premium experiences with its VoLTE service.

Users can expect superior voice clarity, reduced background noise, and call setup that are three times faster than traditional 2G or 3G calls. The technology also allows seamless switching between voice and video calls, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted connection.

To celebrate this milestone, KTRN is offering three months of Free Unlimited VoLTE calls and SMS to all users with KTRN 4G SIM cards. The company has completed interconnection with all local telecom operators, enabling smooth communication between KTRN users and subscribers from other Networks operating in Rwanda. Additionally, KTRN has partnered with regional and international operators enabling seamless international Calls and SMS exchanges.

Beyond launching VoLTE, KTRN is focused on increasing the availability of compatible smartphones in Rwanda. According to Steven Ngabonziza, KTRN's Chief Commercial Officer, the company is collaborating with leading smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Apple, Tecno, and Infinix, to ensure more devices support this service.

"We are committed to making VoLTE services and compatible devices more accessible and affordable through various partnerships," he said.

The VoLTE service is available through KTRN retail partners-ISPs, which can be found at www.ktrn.rw/partners. Existing customers with 4G-enabled smartphones supporting VoLTE can access the service by dialing *900# or downloading the LTE RWA app from the App Store or Google Play.

With this launch, KTRN reinforces its commitment to driving Rwanda's digital transformation by offering cutting-edge, reliable, and cost-effective communication solutions to its customers.
