Du introduces Nokia supplied VoLTE service

UAE telco, Du has announced achieving Voice over LTE (VoLTE) functionality in its live network recently, following the deployment of Nokia’s VoLTE solution and Professional Services.

Nokia designed, tested and integrated VoLTE into Du’s multi-vendor LTE network and achieved the implementation in just 80 days, marking this as the world’s fastest implementation.

Recent tests in Nokia Networks Smart Labs show that VoLTE clients are network friendlier than other clients as overall data volume consumed over a period of time show significantly lower consumption for VoLTE, thanks to its more efficient behaviour during stand-by mode. VoLTE clients also consume less smartphone battery compared to other clients and put less signalling load on networks.
