Bittium conducts the first VoLTE call in Public Safety LTE band 14 environment
The first VoLTE call in Public Safety LTE band 14 is an important milestone. While VoLTE is being used in commercial LTE networks for voice services, this was the first time that a VoLTE call was completed on the network environment that will be used on the dedicated Public Safety Broadband network by First Responder Network Authority FirstNet in the USA. The FirstNet network will be a greenfield deployment of an LTE-only network, with no legacy circuit switched voice services, which was traditionally used for voice calls. In an LTE-only network, the voice communications are handled via VoLTE.
“Successful VoLTE call in the FirstNet network environment proves the technical maturity of the system. It also demonstrates the capabilities and interoperability of our Bittium Tough Mobile LTE smartphone to different kind of network environmentsī, says Bittiumīs Jani Lyrintzis, General Manager, Business development and sales in the US.
