Industry Hesitancy to deploy IMS for VoLTE
Why?
Perceptions against VoLTE investments
Reality
Voice is a flat/declining revenue stream
• Still the largest contributor to mobile operator revenues and profitability
Use CSFB forvoice services on LTE
3G networks work fine for voice
• Data falls back to 3G speeds as well.
• VoLTE sounds better. • Early VoLTE deployments prove
operators can charge premium and increase ARPU.
VoLTE handsets not ready, limited selection, poor battery life
• 2H14 will see increasing variety of VoLTE devices with improved battery life
IMS systems, and associated integration, is costly and complex
• Myopic focus on IMS investment only, limits understanding of broader business case benefits…

• Two separate voice and data networks to manage
• Voice Services supported on separate, proprietary service platforms
• One converged EPC for all IP services simplifies management
• Open IMS supports VoLTE, with other interactive multimedia services
• OneMRF for all services
VoLTE strategy facilitates migration to converged EPC, achieving OPEX savings

Is an IMS expensive?
Compared to 4G spectrum – No!
Motivation for the CFO:A VoLTE deployment can
reduce or defer new 4G spectrum purchases, easily justifying an IMS investment for VoLTE
Summary:Motivations to Deploy VoLTE
Voice still the “Killer App”
Single IP network
Spectrum Refarming
Revenue Upside beyond VoLTE services
Better call quality
Lower call setup times

So at this point, hopefully you might be thinking…
“Investing in an IMS to deploy VoLTE is starting to make more business sense.”
