VoLTE – A Game Changer for Policy: Policy Control & Data Pricing ConferenceCisco Service Provider
Now that LTE networks have been rolled out by most of the service providers in the world, the next objective for operators is the migration of the voice service to the LTE network. This migration is known as Voice over LTE or VoLTE.
VoLTE brings the two sides of the same coin. On the one hand, VoLTE is bringing multiple benefits for service providers (spectrum efficiency, high quality voice, OPEX & CAPEX reduction, etc) but on the other hand, VoLTE service is also bringing some challenges. Those challenges have an special impact on the Policy Management solutions currently deployed for Data Services as this node becomes a critical node in the network for VoLTE.
Policy Management plays a significant role in VoLTE and becomes a mandatory node in the network. This node is responsible for establishing and releasing, on behalf of the IMS domain, the bearer required to accommodate voice traffic.
Additionally, VoLTE is defining some stringent requirements for Policy Management solutions.
This week I spoke at the Policy Control 2014 conference in Berlin on VoLTE, a Game Changer for Policy. Find out more information on Cisco’s Quantum Policy Suite for mobile: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/quantum-policy-suite-mobile/index.html .
You can also view the blog about this here: http://blogs.cisco.com/sp/volte-a-game-changer-for-policy/ .

Beyond Basic VoLTE Services: Avoiding 3 Mistakes of the PastRadisys Corporation
Presentation given by Radisys' Grant Henderson, VP, Marketing & Product Management, MediaEngine Marketing, at the LTE Voice Summit 2016 in London:
The era of truly open solutions, both hardware and software is upon us. Check out this presentation to learn how to avoid the 3 mistakes of the past when virtualizing data plane elements.
This webinar presents the unique requirements and challenges around delivering real-time IP media processing (such as transcoding, transrating, media mixing and media clip conversion) for delivering high performance telecommunication services such as real-time video communications, VoLTE, VoWiFi, and WebRTC.
It is now not a question of “if” IP Telephony will be adopted but “when.” ….the key issue today is when to implement and how to manage the migration to converged networks
Service providers are starting deployment of VoLTE and adding RCS as part of the Joyn initiative. As service providers are looking for new sources of revenue and ways to compete with OTT service providers they are starting to provide RCS based UC services to enterprises and SMBs.
The presentation reviews VoLTE and RCS technology and market, drivers for service providers to offer such services to enterprises and RADVISION's offering for building such services with emphasis on clients for mobile, tablet and desktop.
Radisys hosted this webinar on July 9, 2014: VoLTE in Asia Pacific - from Delay to Deploy. Ray Adensamer reviews VoLTE activity in the APAC region Ray discusses the industry hesitancy around VoLTE and walk throught a business case example.
