This is an informal write up of interesting bits from the LTE Voice Summit 2015. E&OE.

A similar write-up of the same event last year was

very much appreciated and is available here.

Not many presentations were shared this time around so I have added photos wherever possible

Tom Bennett – EE

YoungNahn Baek – LGU+

Interesting feature being shown by LGU+ where you send your photo to the callee

Shannon Bell – Amdocs

Yang Qin – Huawei

Huawei’s presentation was pragmatic and to the point, shame it wasn’t shared

Yang Qin – Huawei

David Artuñedo – TU-Go-Telefonica

In my point of view, ‘saving on roaming’ is the killer feature of TU Go.

Bejoy Pankajakshan – Mitel (Mavenir)

Paul Gowans – Viavi Solutions (JDSU)

Kobus Smit – Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom is adding an urgency button and other new features to voice/video call

Divya Ghai Wakankar – BICS

Motohiro ABE – NTT DOCOMO

NTT Docomo did not share their presentation. It was on S8HR roaming solution and is similar to an earlier blog post on the 3G4G blog available here.

Ajay Joseph – iBasis

See my blog post on VoLTE roaming, including this presentation by iBasis on the 3G4G blog here.

Saverio Caracozzi – Italtel

Tim Rawling – BT

Susan White – Alcatel-Lucent

Petrit Nahi – Tektronix (NETSCOUT)

Final thoughts

While there is good progress being made rolling out VoLTE, there is no clear monetisation opportunity.

There are still comparisons being made with OTT and VoLTE is being billed as competitor to OTT but it’s the same as comparing ‘apples to oranges’. Nobody seemed to mention that international texts / calling using OTT

is free

VoLTE is already complex to implement and roll out; SRVCC is even more complicated, best to avoid if possible.

Its still not clear which VoLTE roaming solution will win.

VoWiFi is working much better than anticipated. Since being supported in iPhone 6/6+, its really caught on.

Its good to see some operators are aware of disruptive technologies like WebRTC but are they prepared?
