AT&T Says VoLTE Available to 295 Million Americans

Dec 29, 2015, 10:40 AM by Eric M. Zeman

AT&T today said it has reached a new milestone in expanding VoLTE service. As 2015 comes to a close, VoLTE is available to a footprint covering some 295 million POPs, says AT&T, and the service has won over 27 million active users. VoLTE permits HD voice and video calls, which are higher quality than those placed over AT&T's legacy voice network. In another milestone, AT&T says it has completed VoLTE calls between its customers and customers of a competing carrier in select markets. The company plans to expand inter-carrier VoLTE over time. Separately, AT&T confirmed to Light Reading that it has brought Carrier IQ in house. "We've acquired the rights to Carrier IQ's software, and some CIQ employees moved to AT&T. We use CIQ software solely to improve the customer's network and wireless service experience. This is in line with our Privacy Policy and provides a great benefit to users of our network." Carrier IQ came to light in 2011 when consumers discovered the company's software could lead to personal identifying data being shared with third parties.
