I am happy to say Squire Technologies provided both and have been a key part of our success with the VoLTE rollout \u201csaid Tom Allen Smile COO.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the VoLTE solution was the Squire Technologies <a href=\"http:\/\/squire-technologies.co.uk\/products\/session-border-controller\">SVI-SBC Session Border Controller<\/a>. Building on half a decade of NGN deployments the <a href=\"http:\/\/squire-technologies.co.uk\/products\/session-border-controller\">SVI-SBC<\/a> was rapidly deployed to support LTE Pre-Conditions enabling optimal bandwidth allocation and rollout of VoLTE handsets. With high volume transcoding and support for multi-device, single number services allowed Smile to offer offnet voice and messaging. At the back end Squire Technologies deployed their mature set of <a href=\"http:\/\/squire-technologies.co.uk\/products\/svi-media-gateway\">media and messaging gateways<\/a> to insure a seamless interconnect between the VoLTE network and legacy 2G\/3G\/PSTN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been an exciting project to be involved in from the start with a unique set of challenges. It has combined solving todays leading edge VoLTE signalling challenges with flexible products and signalling expertise whilst also insuring seamless interconnect with legacy 2G\/3G\/PSTN. We look forward to being a continued part of Smile&#8217;s success in this project\u201d said Simon Dinnage, Squire Technologies Business Development Director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Following on from the success of Smile&#8217;s pan African 4G LTE network enabling mobile broadband data was the rollout of voice and messaging using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology. \u201cFrom day one we needed a technology&nbsp;partner that could not only offer us a diverse range of core network signalling products but also a set [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[132,133,137,135,24,134,129,130,95,136,131],"class_list":["post-270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-4g","tag-5g","tag-africa","tag-broadband","tag-lte","tag-mobile","tag-smile","tag-telecom","tag-telecommunications","tag-voice","tag-volte"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
