Ericsson accomplishes LTE handover technology with Qualcomm
Ericsson together with Qualcomm Incorporated have performed a voice handover based on the 3GPP-standardized functionality Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) demonstrating users will experience seamless voice services when they move out of LTE coverage, since the call will automatically be handed over to WCDMA or GSM access during the call.
Johan Wibergh, Head - Business Unit Networks, Ericsson said, "By accomplishing this advanced LTE handover technology together with Qualcomm, we now ensure that operators can meet consumers' expectations on a high-quality voice over LTE service. Operators will be able to maintain their quality brand for their voice business when they launch voiceover LTE."
SRVCC is said to enable operators to deploy voice over LTE, seamlessly handing over to existing GSM and WCDMA installed base as needed. The handover mechanism is supported on Ericsson's end-to-end products and solutions; LTE/WCDMA/GSM RAN, Evolved Packet Core, MSC and IMS to work towards VoLTE enabled LTE smartphones.
