Mobile VoIP for LTE

There have been two articles recently on Mobile VoIP.  The first article, released to support Heavy Reading’s new Mobile VoIP report, quotes analyst John Blau saying mobile VoIP is “an unstoppable train”.  Blau writes that mobile VoIP is coming whether operators like it or not.

In LTE, this is exceptionally true, giving the low latency and high bandwidth of the mobile industry’s most efficient mobile network.  Leaving voice service off LTE is inviting competition from a raft of third party providers.  

The second article is from technology pragmatist Om Malik, whose story is titled “Are Carriers Changing their Tune on Mobile VoIP?”

Om points out that operators are moving away from draconian ‘block everything’ policies and are beginning to accept that their consumers may want a Mobile VoIP service set.  

For operators deploying LTE, this ‘Mobile VoIP’ service can be derived from their existing mobile voice infrastructure through VoLGA.  

With VoLGA, mobile operators can deliver their primary revenue generating services (voice and SMS) as a Mobile VoIP offer with LTE from day 1.
