Ericsson noted its role in the world’s first three commercial Voice over LTE (VoLTE) launches: SK Telecom and LG U+ in Korea, and MetroPCS in the US. All three carriers announced their VoLTE deployments on August 7, 2012.
“Telecom grade telephony is going all-IP over commercial mobile broadband LTE networks for the first time. This is a historic moment in the telecom industry.
