ZTE
announced it participated in the first-ever voice over LTE (VoLTE)
interoperability test event hosted by the MultiService Forum (MSF) and backed
by GSMA at the Vodafone Test and Innovation Centre in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The test event centered on validating key network interfaces to ensure
multi-vendor deployment strategies for LTE/EPC/IMS technologies, including
GSMA’s technical recommendations for IMS-based VoLTE. Test scenarios included
VoLTE basic interoperability, global roaming and interconnection as specified
by the GSMA.
ZTE provided end-to-end system and terminals for the test, including: IMS Core
(P/I/S-CSCF), eNodeB, MME, S-GW, P-GW, PCRF, HSS, DRA, IMS MMTel AS, IMS soft
client and LTE UEs. ZTE supplied comprehensive network solutions for VoLTE IMS
calls.
During
the test, VoLTE calls were completed at and between two host sites including
MMTel services. LTE roaming between host sites also was demonstrated
successfully through the use of dynamic policy control between home and visited
networks that employed Diameter Routing Agents (DRA).
“We
are pleased with the results of the MSF VoLTE IOT event because it has laid the
foundation for actual deployment of VoLTE,” said Wang Xiaoqiang, vice
president – Core Network Products, ZTE.
“ZTE
is committed to investing in VoLTE and working with LTE operators to achieve
innovative voice applications over the LTE network,” Xiaoqiang added.
“ZTE’s
commitment to the VoLTE interoperability event, alongside Vodafone and China
Mobile, highlights the significance of the combination of IMS and LTE for the
telecommunications industry,” said Kyu-Ou Lee, president of MSF.
