Why are VoLTE and 4G calling critical enablers for 5G voice services?

Deploying VoLTE is strategically important. It is typically part of the migration of voice services from 3G and legacy CS mobile networks to the 4G LTE network. VoLTE is based on the IMS architecture, so the rise of VoLTE also coincides with Communication Service Provider (CSP) adoption of IMS.

As subscribers demand more services for less money, it’s vitally important for operators to protect their profitability by reducing delivery costs. The answer is to eliminate the need for separate voice and data networks.

By providing VoLTE, an operator can enhance indoor coverage using Wi-Fi and extend its communication services with WebRTC. Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) and WebRTC use the same IMS core as VoLTE. Enable the same communication and multimedia services.

Evolve towards an all-IP core, IMS is a high-performing core controller for LTE networks. Providing VoLTE, VoWiFi and multimedia services for multiple devices.  

IMS provides a standardized, future-proof network architecture with open interfaces. It ensures interoperability of multivendor equipment, combined with maximum reuse of existing network elements.  

The Nokia IMS-based product portfolio gives field-proven, efficient, and robust voice and multimedia services with Advanced Audio Coding with any access type – mobile, wireline or cable.

The Nokia VoLTE solution offers a clear evolutionary path. It allows operators to take full advantage of LTE network according industry standards coexisting fully with existing voice core. VoWiFi and fixed, converged IP expand the user experience and enable operators to bundle services to differentiate their offering.  

Nokia VoLTE core, including IMS /TAS, SBC and HSS, provides a truly robust and reliable next generation voice and messaging service core.    

Our Rich Communication Suite (RCS) allows operators to offer their customers capabilities that make the mobile even more central to their private and business lives.
