Overview:
Fourth generation (4G) data services are in the deployment stage,
but is will be a few years until there is ubiquitous LTE coverage.
Meanwhile, there are competitive threats emerging against
incumbent carriers' core voice services. This is coming at a time
when all bearer services (voice and data) are becoming
marginalized due to market expectations, economic conditions,
and a coming supply side expansion in terms of network capacity.
This research assesses the market drivers and outlook for VoLTE
as well as carrier opportunities and challenges. The report
forecasts VoLTE growth for the Middle East and Africa regions.
The report includes conclusions and recommendations for
network operators.
