VoLTE is a standard for high-speed voice calls over 4G LTE networks that provides higher voice capacity and frees up bandwidth compared to 3G and 2G networks. VoLTE calls are recognized as the future of mobile voice services. It provides more efficient spectrum use, meets rising demand for rich services, eliminates separate networks for voice and data, and increases revenue potential through IMS. VoLTE also improves battery life, call quality, and call setup times. Early commercial VoLTE services began launching in 2014, with full commercial launches following in various countries through 2016.
