Report Overview

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology allows a voice call to be placed over an
LTE network, enabling mobile operators to reduce reliance on legacy
circuit-switched networks.  Powered by IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)
architecture, VoLTE brings a host of benefits to operators ranging from the
ability to refarm legacy 2G and 3G spectrum to offering their subscribers a
differentiated service experience through capabilities such as HD voice and
video telephony.

First deployed by South Korean operators in 2012, VoLTE is beginning to
gain momentum globally. As of Q4’2016, more than 80 mobile operators have
commercially launched VoLTE services, and several roaming and
interoperability agreements are already in place.

SNS Research estimates that VoLTE service revenue will grow at a CAGR of
34% between 2016 and 2020. By the end of 2020, VoLTE subscribers will
account for more than $200 Billion in revenue. Although traditional voice
services will constitute a major proportion of this figure, nearly 15% of
the revenue will be driven by video calling and supplementary services.

The “VoLTE (Voice over LTE) Ecosystem: 2016 – 2030 – Opportunities,
Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts” report presents an in-depth assessment
of the VoLTE ecosystem including enabling technologies, key market drivers,
challenges, collaborative initiatives, regulatory landscape,
standardization, opportunities, operator case studies, future roadmap,
value chain, ecosystem player profiles and strategies. The report also
presents forecasts for VoLTE smartphone shipments, subscriptions, service
revenue and infrastructure investments from 2016 till 2030. The forecasts
cover 7 individual submarkets and 6 regions.

The report comes with an associated Excel datasheet suite covering
quantitative data from all numeric forecasts presented in the report.
