With only four commercial deployments of voice over LTE networks globally – three in Korea and with MetroPCS in the United States – it’s safe to presume that it’s still a relatively nascent technology. But
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 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 (VoLTE) is the final frontier in that march as carriers look to take advantage of their LTE deployments...
Agilent's SystemVue platform for communications, aerospace and defense system design now supports high-performance distributed computing. Agilent said that allows next-generation system performance to be verified up to 64 times faster using Linux-based grid computing managers like the IBM Platform Load Sharing Facility.

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,
The evolution of wireless networks has gone hand-in-hand with the needs of consumers and spectrum possessed by carriers. You need both to make a network work, but that evolution has begun to accelerate as consumer needs have pushed beyond the spectrum available to support...
With LTE networks now a growing commercial reality, migrating traditional voice services to LTE becomes ever more pressing. GSMA IR.92 – IMS Profile for Voice and SMS – clears the way for a global solution but also introduces functional, performance, and quality challenges. Meeting...
Wireless network company Radisys met its guidance for the second quarter, although it still posted a net loss amid a shift to re-focus its efforts on its most profitable products.
The company posted revenues of $65.4 million, down from about $72.6 million in the same period...
Nokia Siemens Networks said today that it has successfully tested Voice over LTE and other IMS services in a virtualized core network environment, demonstrating deployment readiness of the technology.
According to the company, the testing involved industry-standard virtualization and cloud management infrastructure and commercial, off-the-shelf...
Verizon Wireless looked to re-assert its dominance of the domestic LTE conversation reporting today that its LTE network now covered more than 298 million potential customers across 500 markets and 99% of its legacy 3G footprint. In combination with its planned launch of services...
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,
Today carriers are racing to offer triple-play and quadruple-play service bundles which include TV, voice, high-speed Internet and mobile services to subscribers everywhere in America.
The mobile core is changing. Fast. Mobile network operators around the globe are embracing the transition from legacy mobile technologies to next generation infrastructures and the new LTE core
Battery life on voice over LTE second-generation chipsets has significantly improved, showing growing maturity of the technology, according to a new test report by Spirent Communications.
Spirent tested first and second generation VoLTE devices on MetroPCS’ LTE network, and concluded that the newer LG Spirit...
The number of LTE devices and manufacturers is exploding. This special report explores how the transition to LTE networks is changing the device ecosystem from design to test and repair, and the factors that affect a successful LTE device launch. Spectrum fragmentation, the proliferation...
Voice-over-LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than does 3G, so the nation's largest carriers are working hard to roll out VoLTE in order to get more use from their spectrum. Chipmakers see demand for LTE modems that support VoLTE, but these modems require rigorous testing...
As we gaze at the crystal ball – or rather the crystal cloud – for the mobile industry in 2013, we see some significant technologies and trends that have the potential to transform
Diameter’s role in managing the explosive growth of signaling across an LTE network has more than doubled in not only signaling traffic, but also complexity. Diameter signaling protocol has been adopted by 3GPP and 3GPP2 as the standard protocol for authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA)...
Considered by some – and self-proclaimed – worldwide leader in LTE, Verizon Wireless is looking to maintain the momentum that begun with its initial network rollout nearly two years ago. The carrier announced today during a press conference at the MobileCON event in San...
According to Dell’Oro Group, Voice over Long Term Evolution projects generated more than $200 million in the past four quarters, as wireless operators have begun investing in network infrastructure to support moving voice from 3G to 4G LTE.
“The most important trend underway in the...
LTE initial network build activity has been particularly strong in North America, South Korea and Japan. Success by early adopters when it comes to network rollout and performance, device offering and subscriber adoption has compelled
Whether it’s ready or not, Voice over LTE is here as a pair of carriers on different sides of the world unveiled commercial services using the standard.
Domestically, the offering was launched by MetroPCS, which said it is offering the service using the LG Connect...
