Voice and messaging deliver the lion’s share of mobile service provider revenues. Yet, on the eve of LTE roll-outs, there is a major question yet unresolved: how voice will be part of the next generation mobile RAN technology. This session will explore one of today’s hottest topics as mobile service providers navigate the evolution of their RAN and voice network in the era of ubiquitous 3G and 4G mobile broadband. To help address this issue, the GSM Association (GSMA) announced that it has adopted the work of the One Voice Initiative for an IMS-based solution to Voice Over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE).
This webinar will explore this new initiative
and related topics, including:
GSMA VoLTE architecture and agenda
Transitional approaches to IMS VoLTE - are they needed? Which is best?
Critical features required to deliver voice over LTE
Moving beyond voice - RCS, video and multimedia communication for LTE
