Apple has always been a leader in innovation, and the new generation networks LTE - a great opportunity to show it again. The company has opened on the site a few vacancies for employees who will work on the integration of technology Voice Over LTE smartphones iPhone.
Now, to make a voice call, iPhone needs to switch to the network of the second or third generation (2G or 3G). VoLTE technology lets you call, remaining in fourth-generation network. In this case, the voice is transmitted clearly, connection time is reduced five-fold, and reduced power consumption of the smartphone.
Intentions Apple integrate the iPhone VoLTE say two new jobs on the site. The company is willing to accept in its ranks of experienced professionals working with voice Voice Over LTE as an engineer cellular networks and senior engineer for the development of the audio. The latter requires experience with the protocols SIP, RTP, and VoIP.
Observers do not rule out the possibility that Apple will integrate technology VoLTE in the next generation line of iPhone.
At the same time in the very near future, the introduction of VoLTE in Russian fourth-generation networks should not wait. On the market a large number of devices that support the standard, there will be no earlier than the second half of 2015. Without this factor, the operator does not make sense to rush the spread of the standard. According to forecasts of the Russian operators, the transition will be gradual: MTS expects that in 2020 through VoLTE will be transmitted only slightly more than 20% of voice traffic.
