Voice over LTE

Also known as: VoLTE, LTE Voice, HD Voice

A standard for transmitting voice calls over 4G LTE mobile networks using IP-based protocols rather than legacy circuit-switched networks. VoLTE typically uses the AMR-WB codec, enabling wideband HD voice quality that significantly benefits people with hearing loss. The improved data rates of LTE networks allow wideband audio transmission at minimal additional cost compared to narrowband, making universal wideband deployment technically feasible.
