Bharti Airtel is planning to launch VoWi-Fi or Voice over Wi-Fi service in India next month. With the VoWi-Fi service launch in December, Airtel will be the first operator in India to come up with the new voice calling technology beating Reliance Jio which was the first operator in the country to launch VoLTE service. Airtel is aiming to step up the indoor network coverage with the help of VoWi-Fi service. As we reported earlier, Airtel has been testing VoWi-Fi service in various cities with its employees and select customers as part of the beta programme. Next month, it will launch the VoWi-Fi service to the public, according to a report by ET Telecom. However, we are not sure whether Airtel will launch the service on a pan-India basis on in select circles for now.

Airtel Finishes Beta Testing of VoWi-Fi Service
In several countries, telecom operators already launched VoWi-Fi service and India is late to get the technology, as always. The report says Airtel has finished the beta testing of VoWi-Fi with its employees and select customers. “The results and calling experience feedback has been fairly good as per our sources,” says the report.
In general, VoWi-Fi service will be beneficial for the users in indoor conditions as it allows users to attend voice calls using the Wi-Fi network. And yes, Airtel VoWi-Fi software support is required on the smartphone to make use of the upcoming technology. Similar to Airtel VoLTE service, users will not be burdened with additional charges for Airtel VoWi-Fi and the service will be entirely free to use.
