First LTE to CDMA VoIP handover complete

This has been one of the big challenges for LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) VoIP for the last four years, and the industry was exploring SRVCC alongside a technique called Circuit Switched Fall Back to offer continuous voice over LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) service. With the ability to hand over connections, VoIP subscribers can roam between LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) and other wireless networks without disconnection.

"As LTE networks are deployed alongside 3G networks, the ability for multimode 3G/LTE mobile devices to connect to different network technologies will be an important part of providing the best possible mobile voice and data experience to consumers," said Cristiano Amon, SVP of product management at Qualcomm in a statement on Thursday. "Qualcomm is committed to the successful deployment of LTE networks worldwide in conjunction with 3G networks, and the milestone we've achieved with Ericsson is another step towards making VoLTE research a commercial reality."
