A recent Survey of mobile operators shows VoLTE and ViLTE gaining momentum, but uncertainty about roaming models raises implementation challenges. Conducted in January 2016 by
With 46 operators having commercially launched VoLTE-HD voice services in 29 countries and more than 117 operators investing in VoLTE*, VoLTE roaming has become a
If you are concerned about VoLTE Roaming models, IMS interoperability, interconnectivity between different roaming models, end-user quality of experience, we encourage you to attend iBasis CTO Ajay Joseph’s session on “VoLTE Roaming Challenges” on Tuesday September 29th at 15.20 at the LTE Voice Summit in London.
Ajay will discuss the best way to approach VoLTE Roaming to achieve both high quality and fast time-to-market, including results of recent VoLTE trials and innovative solutions to help you achieve the benefits of taking VoLTE global.
Most mobile operators around the world are planning to launch voice service over the LTE infrastructure, better known in the industry as VoLTE. Before 2014, standards bodies such as the 3GPP and GSMA, along with most mobile operators, were considering the Local Breakout (LBO) model for VoLTE roaming. In this model, a visited LTE operator provides local breakout of roaming calls, routing them locally or sending them to the home network for routing. This was considered an effective voice roaming model, similar to the roaming model used by 3G networks.
In the recent Telecom Asia LTE Insights supplement, author John C. Tanner explores the emergence of VoLTE with its many complexities. The article features extensive insights from Tanner’s interview with iBasis CTO Ajay Joseph, regarding the benefits of taking VoLTE globally. The supplement also includes a detailed description of the pros and cons of the different VoLTE roaming models proposed by GSMA and 3GPP, as well as iBasis’ unique hybrid “best of both worlds” VoLTE roaming model, which delivers optimal quality, control and time-to-market for international VoLTE.
Hot Telecom recently interviewed Willem Offerhaus, iBasis CEO to learn how iBasis is innovating as the wholesale voice market evolves to support voice in the new IP world. In the interview Willem explains how iBasis is continuing to be a leading international voice provider and innovator — among the first to launch IPX, LTE roaming, and more recently, the first to conduct successful international VoLTE roaming trials.
