VoLTE and VoWiFi Global Launches
As of August 4th 2017 according to the GSMA
Only
18% of CSPs
who launched
LTE offer VoLTE

“Spectrum Efficiency … “Network Optimization”
Stepping stone for more advanced services ViLTE, RCS” NTT DoCoMo, launched VoLTE in 2014
Orange, launched VoLTE in Romania Sept. 2015 +19M VoLTE users as of Oct. 2016
What are the benefits of VoLTE?
followed by France Jan. 2016
More efficient use of spectrum
Richer, more reliable services;
Eliminates ‐ voice on one network and data on another;
“Enriched User Experience” “Offer differentiated all IP Services “
Unlocks new revenue potential, utilising IMS as the common service
Swisscom, launched VoLTE and VoWiFi
Rogers, launched VoLTE
in March 2015 platform; in summer 2015, 30% call volume
Why VoLTE and generated over VoLTE
Can be deployed in parallel with video calls over LTE and RCS
Verizon, launched VoWiFi?
VoLTE Sept. 2014, multimedia services
VoWiFi March 2016 In CSPs own
Ensures that video services are fully interoperable across the
“NFV Network Transformation”
15M VoLTE Subscribers
operator community words … AT&T, launched VoLTE in 2014,
as of April 2016 34M subscribers as of Q1 2016
Increases handset battery life by 40 per cent (compared with VoIP);
Delivers an unusually clear calling experience; and
Provides rapid call establishment time.
“Improved indoor connection … Reduction in Churn”
Three UK, launched VoWiFi May 2014, in 2015 launched VoLTE +2.3M VoLTE users as of Sept. 2016
findings from discussions with
operators at various conferences EE, launched VoWiFi in April 2015, VoLTE in Feb. 2016 ~234K unique VoLTE users/day

“EE learned first‐hand that the
VoLTE and
end‐to‐end integration from VoWiFi
device through to the IMS core Deployment
was incredibly intensive … “ EE
Challenges
“VoLTE specifications are too ambiguous and we
needed to collaborate with vendors (networks,
chipset, UI) to make it happen …” NTT DOCOMO
“Turkcell admits to challenges with its VoLTE
and VoWiFi deployment, including provisioning
and supplementary service data parity between
circuit switch and VoLTE; IN service experience

VoLTE‐VoWiFi As a Managed Service
• Predictable cost model with common pricing parameter
Today there are too many distinct
metrics for licensing a VoLTE
Solution …
Example:
SBC: Concurrent Sessions
CSCF: Registered End-Points
Price
PCRF: Access Sessions AND Subscribers
DRA: Messages Per Second
Simplified Per
TAS: Registered End-Points
MRF: Concurrent Ports
SUB
ENUM: Provisioned Subscribers OR
Transactions per Month
Cost Predictability is complicated for most operators, and cost can greatly vary by Traffic
Profile changes (Most VoLTE customers don’t really have a very clear idea on VoLTE traffic
profiles and are deriving it from the GSM traffic profiles and make up assumptions for new
parameters – which is prone to error)
