Orange launches first international HD phone call
The Orange clients in Romania and the Republic of Moldova will be able to launch HD quality voice calls, as the telecom operator managed for the first time to interconnect these two mobile networks with different infrastructure.
According to an Orange Romania press release, HD Voice success in the two countries, as well as the linguistic and cultural ties were the basis for Orange Romania and Orange Moldova decision to continue the innovation and extend the HD Voice service between the two countries.
In Romania, the number of the HD phone calls reported a constant growth since they were launched in May 2011, reaching 20 million now. Thus, in the third quarter of 2012, there were ten times more HD Voice phone calls on a year-on-year basis. Moreover, 90 percent of the HD clients say that the service provides a higher quality of sound and 85 percent said there are notable differences between an HD phone call and a standard phone call.
Orange Romania has got 15 HD Voice compatible phone models available in its portfolio which they intend to expand introducing some new compatible phones within the Best Deal offer.
'... The HD sound, along with the fastest mobile data network in Romania, stands evidence of the focus Orange puts on innovation, as well as on our interest to provide a pleasant experience to the clients and set new standards in the voice call services,' said Jean-Francois Fallacher, Orange Romania managing director.
On March 31, 2012, Orange Romania used to have 10,087,025 clients and the annual average revenue per user was 82 euros. Orange is a market leader in Romania and is part of the Orange-France Telecom group, one of the leading communication companies in the world, with more than 217.3 million clients on five continents.
