What is VoWiFi Service?

VoWi-Fi stands for Voice over Wi-Fi. VoWi-Fi is a complementary technology to VoLTE (Voice over LTE) that utilises IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) technology to provide voice service delivered over IP via a Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet.

IMS:

IMS is a standards-based architectural framework created by the 3GPP for delivering multimedia communications services such as voice, video and messaging over IP networks.

Shortly put, instead of voice going through traditional cellular networks, in VoWiFi technology, the cellular services will be delivered via a Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet based on the same architectural backend setup.

Benefits of VoWi-Fi:

Both customers and businesses (telcos) can immensely benefit from VoWi-Fi. Customers can enjoy seamless connectivity experience indoors, where cellular signals are hard to reach, by connecting to available Wi-Fi networks. As a result, telcos can gain a competitive advantage, explore revenue opportunities, and deliver an exceptional Network experience.
