VoLTE

In a move that will intensify competition, RIL-owned Infotel Broadband Services has informed the telecom ministry that it is ready for trial runs of a technology that would enable voice calls service on its wireless broadband network. Against expectations, Infotel Broadband Services (IBSL) did not apply for making bids for the spectrum auction, freed after cancellation of 122 telecom licences on the order of SC.
The company has developed a technology in preparation of a unified licensing regime recommended by Trai under which consumers will be able to get voice, messaging and video using a single device, the source said. It has approached the Department of Telecommunication for allocation of number series to test its newly developed Voice over LTE(VoLTE) technology, official sources said.
They said VoLTE technology would enable IBSL to work seamlessly with 2G, 3G, NLD and ILD networks. Termination and receiving of calls from these networks to IBSL network would be possible via VoLTE technology. IBSL had won 20 Mhz of pan-India airwaves for providing wireless broadband services in 2010 for Rs 12,847.8 crore.
