VoLTE Technology
Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) is a technology standard that enables voice calls over a 4G LTE network. VoLTE uses IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) technology to deliver voice calls over LTE networks. It essentially converts voice into data packets and transmits them over the LTE network, allowing for high-quality voice calls with faster call setup times and improved voice clarity compared to traditional circuit-switched voice calls.
