VoIP and VoLTE: A comparative analysis

In the ever-evolving digital communication landscape, two technologies have emerged as significant players: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE). Both technologies facilitate voice calls, but they do so in fundamentally different ways, and each has its unique set of advantages and potential drawbacks.

VoLTE: What is it, and how different is it from VoIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a must for today’s businesses. Compared to the old analog phone system, VoIP is a more effective communication tool. Aside from making voice calls, you can also do conference calls, send instant messaging, queue calls, have music on hold, and record calls with VoIP.
