Jio and Bharti Airtel VoWi-Fi Live in Many Circles But There are Certain Limitations

There was a time a few years back when Voice Over LTE was all the craze in the telecom industry. The first telecom operator to step into this field was the Mukesh Ambani led telecom operators, and it makes perfect sense because the telco is the only one in India to have a 4G-only network and the only thing necessary for a VoLTE deployment was a robust 4G network which Reliance Jio did not lack. Other telecom operators soon followed on the same footsteps and deployed the VoLTE technology. But, now three years later, VoWi-Fi is making rounds of the Internet. Most people are looking towards trying this new technology on their phones. The two telecom operators who are having a head-start when it comes to the VoWi-Fi technology are Reliance Jio again and Bharti Airtel. Both of these telecom operators have availed the technology in many places for their subscribers to try. There is definitely a hint of innovation and a sense of ease to the VoWi-Fi tech, and it surely solves some problems which the consumers might face. But, with that being said, there are some things about the current situation of the VoWi-Fi technology right now which pose limitations.

Limited to Certain Areas

Currently, the VoWi-Fi support from both Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio is limited to certain geographies only. These geographies are also not entire circles and a handful of cities only. This means that the subscribers who want to use VoWi-Fi will have to be in certain areas to be able to access the technology. This also means that the infrastructure required to deploy the technology is hard-found, and the telecom operators might take their time to deploy the technology pan-India. Airtel and Reliance Jio have turned on VoWi-Fi support for the subscribers in prominent regions like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and other metros. Some other areas like Nashik have also started getting VoWi-Fi support. But, still, the presence of technology is very sparse.
