About VoLTE
VoLTE or Voice over Long Term Evolution is a technology that enables voice calls over an LTE network, as opposed to earlier voice calls in use over 2G and 3G networks. This is quite similar to voice over internet protocol (VoIP), used to support voice calls over a broadband connection. Unlike VoIP that sends voice over circuit-switched networks, VoLTE sends voice calls over IP-based LTE networks. It basically harnesses the excellent data capabilities of LTE with revenue generating traditional voice services on to the same LTE network. The idea is based on converting voice signals into packet data, transferring it over the broadband network, and finally reconverting packet data back into voice signals. Currently, operators run both voice and data over two distinct networks. VoLTE enables them to merge both, which results in better quality and efficiency. Currently, VoLTE is the most important application of the LTE mobile network, in the Global Telecom industry.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global VoLTE market to grow at a CAGR of 7.81 percent over the period 2013-2018.
