DiGi.Com Bhd(Oct 27, RM5.03)Maintain hold rating with a target price of RM4.95: DiGi.Com Bhd (DiGi) is now offering voice-over long-term evolution (LTE) [VoLTE] features on its 4G LTE network nationwide at no additional charge for iPhones running iOS 10.1 such as iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone SE. This is not a surprise as DiGi has been testing VoLTE since late-2015 using solutions from its network vendor, ZTE Corp, which deployed its current 4G LTE and 3G networks. VoLTE transmits voice calls over a 4G LTE network. VoLTE also allows customers to simultaneously surf the web, download or stream content from the Internet at 4G LTE speeds while engaged on a voice call. Currently, the need to use 3G or 2G infrastructure to connect voice calls means Internet activity will drop to slower speeds.
