BROWSING: Voice over LTE (VoLTE)

Editor’s Note: Welcome to our weekly Reader Forum section. In an attempt to broaden our interaction with our readers we have created this forum for those with something meaningful to say to the wireless industry. We want to keep this as open as possible,...

With voice-over-LTE networks slowly coming to market, focus is now turning to just how those networks perform compared with legacy circuit switched-based voice offerings. And, according to a new report, it appears that the performance benefit is clearly in the lap of VoLTE services. In...

Voice over LTE has become the latest technology challenge for operators looking to garner more efficiency out of their networks by running voice services over their LTE data networks. Most of the nation’s largest carriers have recently begun to trumpet either limited commercial VoLTE...

Rural telecommunications provider Vermont Telephone expanded its LTE-based wireless broadband services across portions of Vermont. The company said the expansion pushes its coverage to more than 20,000 homes and businesses across 24 rural towns. VTel Wireless had initially launched services earlier this year, offering LTE...

The industry is abuzz with the promise that voice over LTE can bring. Carriers are seeing it as an effective means to gain spectrum efficiency and reduce the cost of service delivery.

Let’s consider an alternative approach where WSPs enter into agreements with companies that want to provide their solution to reach a wireless user,

The wireless industry is nothing if not good at running a copy machine. Few companies in the space ever have much of a “unique” advantage for long, despite all the claims of “world’s only” and “industry leading.”

In 2012, despite gains made in voice over LTE viability as a carrier option for delivering data and voice over 4G LTE networks through IMS cores, several industry pundits pointed out the elephant in the room:

It’s that time of year again – time to hop into our DeLoreans and make the short leap forward to 2014. What will the coming year bring for telecom? What technologies will make waves and

In 2013, we saw unprecedented growth of wireless data with no signs of slowing down. In order to respond to this unabated growth, we expect operators will utilize a wide range

For the last year the telecom industry has largely been in a holding pattern, with incremental developments slowly building toward a larger, mainstream transition to new technologies.

We have seen many changes in the telecoms industry since then. Arguably, the most revolutionary in the United States are the recent pricing changes by

2014 VoLTE Predictions - Challenges for VoLTE Networks and Devices The wireless industry continues its march to an all-IP structure, with LTE networks ushering in the age of true high-speed, mobile broadband services. Voice over LTE is the final frontier in that march as carriers...

The transition away from legacy analog 9-1-1 networks to a nationwide IP-based next-generation 9-1-1 (NextGen 9-1-1) architecture is underway. This is a monumental transformation for public safety,

In today’s data-centric world, LTE is typically associated with evolving high-speed data services, but its voice applications are rapidly gaining traction. As global LTE network deployments rapidly accelerate,

Expect new relationships and tricky negotiations. Everyone wants priority via LTE – the first responders in any emergency, utilities for mission-critical services, and wireless carriers who don’t want to risk unhappy customers. Those who are used to owning assets and having sole control may...
