Today, mobile networks are not limited to just mobile phones for consumers and businesses, but they also provide connectivity for machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. IoT, or the Internet of Things, has been around for a long time, and it is a system of devices connected to the internet to communicate with […]

FDD and TDD are two fundamental concepts in mobile communications and other telecom systems. Together they represent the duplexing schemes in mobile networks that deal with two-way communication. FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) is a technique in mobile networks that uses separate frequency bands for uplink and downlink communication; TDD (Time Division Duplex) is a technique

IMS or IP Multimedia Subsystem is a network architecture used in modern wireless networks, including 4G and 5G, to enable rich communication services. IMS is used in both 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5G NR (New Radio) networks for IP-based voice calls and SMS services. IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is needed in 5G NR
Voice over 5G (Vo5G): Why is IMS used in 5G networks? Read More »
If you have been using the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) or Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) services on your mobile phone, then you already have been served by the IMS platform that mobile operators use along with their mobile core network. IMS or IP Multimedia Subsystem is used in both 4G LTE and 5G NR networks.

EDGE is a network enhancement in second-generation (2G) GSM networks and is represented by an E symbol on cell phones. It is a successor of the GPRS enhancement that introduced the packet-switched mobile internet in GSM networks. EDGE or Enhanced Data for Global Evolution is a 2G technology introduced in GSM networks to increase the

VoLTE and VoIP are two interrelated technologies that enable voice services over data networks. VoLTE is a vital part of mobile cellular networks, while VoIP is a broader technology that is used in fixed and mobile networks. Voice over LTE (VoLTE) in 4G mobile networks is a type of Voice over IP (VoIP) technology that

4G and GPRS represent two different generations of mobile networks, and our mobile phones can access both to connect to the cellular network. However, while both 4G LTE and GPRS enable packet-switched mobile data, 4G is one of the latest cellular technologies, and GPRS is one of the earliest technologies. 4G is the fourth generation
