Cell C is launching its VoLTE services using ng-voice’s fully cloud-native IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and ePDG (AAA) and has now successfully completed its first VoLTE call on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic deployment will enable the delivery of Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Voice over New Radio (VoNR) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) services, enhancing voice communications for all customers in South Africa and future-proofing Cell C’s network.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is a service that allows users to make voice calls over a 4G or LTE network instead of the older 2G and 3G networks.
VoLTE offers several benefits, including:
-
- Improved call quality: VoLTE provides HD voice quality.
- Simultaneous data and voice transfer: Users can transfer data and make voice calls at the same time.
- Faster call set-up: VoLTE allows for faster call set-up times.
- Better network availability: VoLTE provides better network availability.
- Improved battery life: VoLTE is more efficient than traditional voice services, which can improve battery life.
- Enhanced security: VoLTE offers enhanced security features, including encryption of voice data during transmission
By leveraging ng-voice’s cloud-native IMS, Cell C will benefit from the flexibility and scalability that cloud technology offers. This allows voice systems to be continuously updated, new services to be introduced quickly and operations to scale in line with the company’s growing customer demand. Deploying ng-voice solutions in AWS eliminates the need for large hardware investments, making it the perfect solution for keeping voice production costs down.
Collaborating with ng-voice and AWS represents the ideal solution for Cell C, enabling the industry leader and technology pioneer to drive innovation in the region by leveraging ng-voice’s cloud-native portfolio. This is perfectly suited to take advantage of the AWS Cloud and unlock the full potential of African networks.
