As traditional telecommunication networks like 2G and 3G are phased out, businesses must embrace future-proof connectivity solutions. With LTE networks covering 88% of the world’s population, the transition to LTE is essential. However, for companies incorporating voice into their IoT products, shifting from 2G/3G to LTE requires a shift in voice services as well.
VoLTE: The Future of Voice for IoT Devices
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a powerful alternative to the 2G/3G voice service that delivers superior voice clarity, lightning-fast data speeds, and extended battery life for IoT applications. This makes it an ideal choice for remote IoT applications where power resources may be limited and high-performance voice communication is crucial.
Versatility Across Various Use Cases
VoLTE is applicable in a wide range of IoT scenarios, including:
- Data transmission in the trucking industry
- Food safety monitoring
- People tracking
- Remote connected workers
- Connected elevators
Its versatility makes it an attractive option for businesses across different sectors.
VoLTE roaming enables users to use a single global SIM to make and receive calls on visited networks, which is particularly advantageous for businesses with a global presence. Stay updated on the latest VoLTE roaming status by country on the GSMA VoLTE Roaming page.
