Voice communication of the future

Now technologies are actively developing and this applies to almost all areas of activity. This includes mobile communications. Although lately they have not been talking about voice communication so often, since more emphasis is placed on data transmission, where speed, coverage, and so on are needed.

But there is a technological solution that could change everything, and that is VoLTE, which also uses data links with all the features of the similar VoIP method. But you need to understand everything in more detail.

What is VoLTE?

This is a modern technology for transmitting voice calls using the LTE network, based on IMS. That is, here you can transmit voice as a stream in the form of a data packet. But this option is relevant in that it has an increased voice capacity and data capacity, in comparison with the already familiar networks. And at the same time, the bandwidth of the operator’s network is expanding, since the frequency spectrum is used more efficiently.

Key Benefits of VoLTE

It should be noted right away that the technology provides better sounding of the voice, as the technology has been improved. But there is no switching between different technologies, so you can also use the Internet during a call. And the connection will be much faster.

And another important plus is that there is no additional payment for activation, everything corresponds to the services of the current tariff.

What do you need for VoLTE to work?

All 3 basic conditions must be met:

1. Support for mobile communications on the side of the operator. That is, the operator himself must provide support, and the subscriber needs to activate the service.
2. Support in smartphone. That is, it is important that the device not only supports this function, but also that the appropriate configuration is carried out.
3. 4G in SIM card. That is, the subscriber must use 4G and have an appropriate SIM card.

What could be the difficulties?

It is important to note right away that any smartphone model must receive the appropriate firmware update in order to be able to work with the service.

In fact, for the operator, this is a fairly large-scale project, where implementation takes about 3 years. After all, it is necessary to carry out the transfer of voice services to a new architecture.

For each model, separate work is carried out with each of the manufacturers. Phone software settings in each individual case must be changed based on the architecture or technical features of the operator’s network.

Why is it worth using?

1. Improved experience. Users say that the quality of communication has become an order of magnitude better.
2. Voice and Internet. While talking, you can continue to use the mobile application.
3. Free. The subscriber does not pay extra for using the services.
