VoLTE stands for “Voice over LTE,” which means voice transmitted over the 4G network. Historically, the 4G network was used solely for data transmission while voice calls were carried over the 2G and 3G cellular networks. In 2014, as a pioneer, Bouygues Telecom deployed VoLTE to provide its customers with impeccable sound quality for their voice calls.
Applied to IoT, this standard opens up many usage possibilities because it allows for making and receiving calls in 4G. Indeed, switching to 2G and 3G is no longer necessary, and data exchange continues uninterrupted.
The benefits?
Improved sound quality, reduced call setup time, and assured service continuity.
What about the Internet of Things?
Many connected devices use voice as a means of communication; this includes elevators, remote surveillance systems, and ambulances. These connected devices rely on impeccable sound quality and service continuity for optimal functioning.
With the VoLTE option, Objenious’s Cellular IoT packages fully meet these demands. Based on the Bouygues Telecom 4G network, which covers 99% of French territory, the sound quality is impeccable throughout conversations and regardless of location. Moreover, this new standard ensures a High Definition (HD) connection with 3 to 5 times more bandwidth than 3G.
