VoLGA / IMS Client for Voice Over 3G LTE

US : Kineto Wireless announced the industry’s first software client that supports both VoLGA (voice over LTE via Generic Access) and IMS voice for LTE handsets.
An important requirement for any LTE handset is concurrent support for both the interim VoLGA and longer-term IMS voice solutions. Operators around the world will adopt IMS voice on different timelines, so LTE handsets must support the interim approach along with IMS to provide an effective roaming solution. Kineto’s combined client is the industry’s first to provide this comprehensive solution.
Expanding on Kineto’s previously announced VoLGA Software Developer’s Kit (SDK), the new client enables handset manufacturers to easily integrate a combined VoLGA/IMS voice client and accelerate LTE handsets to market. In addition, the client can be upgraded over the air through standard procedures to support new and evolving functionality, providing operators, as well as subscribers, a future-proof solution.
Kineto’s combined VoLGA/IMS voice client is compliant with the VoLGA Forum’s release 1.0 specifications and is planned to support the recently announced “One Voice” IMS telephony profile.
VoLGA is defined specifically to pave a smooth migration path to IMS voice. VoLGA utilizes many of the same connection protocols defined in IMS voice, including RFC 4867 and RoHC (robust header compression). VoLGA works with IMS data services, like the Rich Communications Suite (RCS) over LTE, enabling operators to begin their IMS deployments with new revenue-generating applications while laying the foundation for IMS voice.
