VoLGA

Dear Unicef!

Did you say the following information? 

VoLGA: voice over long gain antenna.

Thank you!

Hello,
VoLGA is an acronym for Voice over LTE via Generic Access.
VoLGA Forum was formed in March 2009 by a group of companies in the wireless industry in an effort to define a set of specifications for enabling delivery of voice services over 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) access networks based on the current 3GPP Generic Access Network (GAN) standard.
The VoLGA Forum's mission is to promote the widespread adoption of VoLGA technology. The group wants to enable mobile operators to deliver voice and messaging services over upcoming LTE radio access networks using the same core networks they use today to support voice services on 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS radio access networks.
Thanks

Hi!

As the admin said, VoLGA stands for Voice over Long-Gain Antenna. It was one of the mechanisms of LTE Voice.

Basically, there were 4 mechanisms: Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Simultaneous Voice and LTE (SVLTE), Circuit-Switched Fallback (CSFB) and Voice over Long-Gain Antenna (VoLGA) all vying for supremacy, but the IP-multimedia subsystem-based (IMS-based) VoLTE has now emerged as the long-term solution of choice, with the others only proving to be temporary.

Thx all :)
