Nokia said Russian mobile carrier MTS has completed Voice over LTE (VoLTE) call on a telecom cloud infrastructure.
The company’s Cloud Application Manager provided automated deployment and management of all cloud applications, while its Professional Services for VoLTE assisted MTS to ready the architecture and design of its network.
MTS Russia benefited from the testing as it was conducted in the operator’s live LTE network with user devices. The testing provided a real-life preview of how telecom operators can combine their voice quality with infrastructure platforms. In addition, the call proved the telecom cloud readiness of end-to-end VoLTE.
Andrey Ushatskiy, chief technical and IT officer at MTS Group, said: “We expect that the compound annual growth of mobile data traffic will reach 79 percent by 2020 and have to prepare our networks to deliver a quality mobile broadband experience to our customers.”
