Expanding VoLTE With Video Capabilities |
|
| |
|
|
|
Maybe the most natural service expansion of VoLTE is the addition of video capabilities. By adding the functionality to handle real-time video streams in the VoLTE session, the VoLTE service platform can be utilized to realize end-user services like video telephony or video share.
However, realizing a good real-time video service over LTE is a challenge. The main challenge lies in that you need to recommend a video service quality to aim for but at the same time take the impact on the LTE radio network into account.

Answeringthe following questions in particular:
What role did IMS play in the VoLTE roll-outs? What is the role of multiple PDNs and dedicated bearers in voice scenarios? Which fixed-line services are easy to migrate to VoLTE? And what are the voice features for the near future?

Are OTT The New Walled Gardens? |
|
| |
|
|
|
OTT consumer based communication is widely deployed. Skype reports that 40% of Skype to Skype calls are video calls. This type of communication is becoming popular also on mobile devices creating a threat for mobile service providers. Reviewing how communication within these two distinct segments can be opened to B2B2C communication breaking the OTT islands and allowing service providers to bring more value to their customers with the introduction of LTE networks.
