Explanation:
VoLTE is a technology update to the LTE protocol used by mobile phone networks. Under LTE, the
infrastructure of telecom players only allows transmission of data while voice calls are routed to
their older 2G or 3G networks. This is why, under LTE, you cannot access your 4G data services
while on a call. This leads to problems such as slow internet speeds and poor voice clarity.
VoLTE allows voice calls to be ‘packaged’ and carried through LTE networks. This would mean 4G
data accessibility even during calls
If VoLTE becomes a reality, it could enable call quality that is much superior to the previous
networks. Apart from high definition voice quality, it can also provide improved coverage.
