NEWS Huawei Single Voice Core won awards at the Voice & Advanced Communications Summit longer. The coexistence of different radio access technologies (2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G) will make voice network O&M more complex and service experience inconsistent. Multi-network convergence and simplification are key. H uawei’s Single Voice Core solution was awarded the ‘Best 5G Voice Solution’ and ‘Communications Innovator of the Year’ at the Voice & Advanced Communications Summit held in Berlin, in November 2019. These awards highlight Huawei’s innovation of real-time communications technologies, and network evolution and application. Voice remains a fundamental telecom service in 5G. As in 3GPP specifications, 5G mobile voice services can be implemented through voice over NR (VoNR) on the IMS, and EPS fallback to the LTE network (VoLTE) rather than fallback to 2G/3G is recommended. Moreover, traditional CS services will be able to exist for significantly Huawei’s innovative Single Voice Core solution makes the voice network easier to use and addresses these problems. This solution converges multiple voice networks and allows all types of subscribers (2G/3G/4G/5G/ fixed-line) to access an all-in-one voice network. This reduces the numbers of NEs and peripheral interfaces, optimises resource sharing within NEs, and ensures a consistent service experience. The solution further reduces operating expense (OPEX), increases return on investment (ROI), and improves O&M efficiency. The solution accelerates the phasing out of CS networks and the full cloudification of voice networks, enabling a quick innovation of industry applications through network capability openness. ///////////////// Tesco and Royal Mail among winners at Connect19 London O neLogin, a leader in Unified Access Management which delivers simple and secure application access and identity management to enterprises, has announced the winners of its UK customer awards at its annual Connect19 London.
