New Fixed Networks market report from MindCommerce: "Voice over LTE (VoLTE) Market Opportunities and Forecast 2013 - 2018"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 12/09/2013 --Fourth generation (4G) data services are in the deployment stage, but is will be a few years until there is ubiquitous LTE coverage. Meanwhile, there are competitive threats emerging against incumbent carriers' core voice services. This is coming at a time when all bearer services (voice and data) are becoming marginalized due to market expectations, economic conditions, and a coming supply side expansion in terms of network capacity.

There is a technical case to be made for a mass movement to VoLTE. The technology would make roaming easier, alleviate concerns with spectrum, and leverage backhaul. VoLTE is easier on the battery life of phones compared to 3G.

However, because of the tight, global economy, many mobile operators (especially the big pan-European operators) would prefer to leverage their HSPA networks. VoLTE will be exactly how voice is handled a decade from now, but that does not speak to the immediate future.
