IP-based telephony in LTE-based networks is referred to as Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Unlike in previous mobile networks, the service is provided here via an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).In order to be able to make calls via an LTE network, the processes via the IMS must be linked to those in the access network. It must be ensured that calls that have already been set up are retained, even if the mobile network coverage changes. Extensions such as the WLAN call are intended to close any remaining gaps in coverage. Finally, VoLTE calls should also be possible across providers both as interconnection calls and via VoLTE roaming.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
