Speech frequency range widened from 50 Hz to 7 kHz compared to the past, expressing high frequencies more clearly, making stable calling possible.


Speedy dial tone, because it will not switch to 3G during calls Speedy incoming call & quietly high quality call


Concurrent communication: Data communication such as WEB, mail transmission / reception and map browsing can be performed at the same time as voice call by VoLTE

Start question and answer


Freelance Isino:
Among the announcements this time, is the terminal such as "XPERIA Z3" or "GALAXY Note Edge" other than "isai VL" or "URBANO" scheduled to support "au VoLTE" in the update? Also, do you deal with "au VoLTE" for "iPhone 6" and "iPhone 6 Plus" in the future?

President Tanaka answering questions


President Tanaka (hereinafter referred to as "field"):
There is nothing except "isai VL" and "URBANO" that we announced this time to support "au VoLTE" on Android terminals. The same is true for existing models. About iPhone 6, I may do someday, but I do not know now.

Masahiro Kobayashi, Head of Product Planning Headquarters


Masahiro Kobayashi, Head of Product Planning Headquarters (Small):
Among the models announced this time, we developed "isai VL" and "URBANO" as terminals compatible with "au VoLTE".

Freelance Yamaguchi:
In the United States Apple announced "Apple SIM" where you can switch careers, are you planning to introduce such things in Japan too? Also, please tell me your frank opinion about Apple SIM.

Rice:
There is no plans to introduce something like Apple SIM at the moment. I do not yet know about the future.

Nikkei Communication Horikoshi:
Are not you putting CDMA 1X on two VoLTE compatible models of "isai VL" and "URBANO"? Later, does iPhone 6 correspond to synchronous communication?

Rice:
CDMA 1X is not to be placed on "isai VL" "URBANO", in Japan it is LTE only. When I go abroadUniversal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS) will be roaming. In the future, we will gradually increase the VoLTE compatible models, and in any case I would like to eliminate 3G from au's network. As existing users come, it is not immediately.

For the iPhone 6 sync and communication, it is a strategy to spread the details after placing it on an Android terminal, as it is necessary to consider details on the implementation.

TBS Karya:
What is the difference between "isai VL" and "URBANO" when new models such as sync and communication are equipped at the time of release in December, or whether synchro communication will start in February 2015 Please finish when you start.

Rice:
The release of VoLTE compatible models is in early December. Of the five services included in the sync function, "voice party" will start in December and the other four services will start in February 2015.

Koichi Kataoka Head of Service Planning Division Director:
I add only a little. "Basic function of sink call" and "voice party" start from December, others are from February 2015.

Koichi Kataoka General Manager of Service Planning Division


Engagetto Tsuda:
Are you planning to provide VoLTE to MVNO? Does the feature phone support VoLTE in the future?

Rice:
MVNO will be examined in the future. Futurephon's support for VoLTE is a future issue. We are planning to increase the number of terminals in order by decreasing the number of au's network. Direction to reduce network numbers.

Q & A in progress


Freelance Koyab:
By becoming VoLTE, will the price be lower than before? Will VoLTE become a flat-rate system or a metered system later?

Rice:
The charge does not change with CDMA 1X. Regarding the flat-rate system and pay-as-you-go system, we respond to both, and there is no change in price.

Newsletter Hashimoto:
What is the assumed price for over-the-counter sales of "isai VL" and "URBANO"? How are you going to sell iPhone and Android separately?

Rice:
I have not decided the final price for store front sales of "isai VL" "URBANO", so I can not say yet. The division of selling iPhone and Android is basically your choice. Recently, the impression that Android is getting more and more. We want to offer customers the added value as a way to use new smart phones, such as au wallet and VoLTE as well as functionality.
