The process of switching from a voice call to a video call complies with the IP Multimedia Subsystem IMS Profile for Conversational Video Service specification, an industry standard established by the GSM Association for managing video and voice data over LTE. This year LG will release smartphones that support LTE and Conversational Video Service, respectively.

– LG will continue to play a leading role in LTE by developing and implementing innovations that provide real benefits to consumers,” said Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications. – The LTE sector is rapidly evolving, and our technology for switching between voice and video calls is ideally suited for industry-wide applications.

Last year at MWC, LG successfully demonstrated Voice over LTE VoLTE and video calling technology. Before LTE, HD video calls were not possible because 3G networks could not handle the data volumes at the speeds required for HD video.
