Commit to quality voice services every time, real-time

Voice technologies and the cost of voice have changed over time. Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) are cost-effective ways to transport voice. Regardless of the technology and the path from one end to the other, customers’ expectations on quality remain high. New voice codecs, such as EVS and the competition from OTT voice services, warrant increased attention to voice quality.

Mobileum’s Voice Testing Solution monitors the performance of voice services across all technologies, services, and codecs. Our Active Testing Platform monitors voice quality using industry standard algorithms (POLQA), and generates real-time insights and alarms for:
  • Fixed Line (PSTN and ISDN)
  • 2G & 3G Circuit Switched Voice
  • Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
  • Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi)
  • Voice over IP (VoIP)
  • Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB)
commit to quality voice services every time

VoLTE testing

Traditional voice services and revenues are declining mainly because of over-the-top (OTT) apps such as WhatsApp. As 2G and 3G networks decline, Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) becomes an essential service for MNOs to differentiate services, adopt new pricing structures, and partner or compete with OTT players. Global VoLTE users should reach five billion by 2024, up three billion from today. 

Mobileum’s VoLTE testing validates and ensures stable, high-performing VoLTE services, covering major functional and performance requirements. It allows users to monitor voice scenarios and the interconnection between VoLTE and 2G/3G CS Voice, VoWiFi or VoIP. We use:
