Telenor Pakistan has enabled Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology on its network. Prior to the upgrade, Telenor conducted a successful VoLTE trial with its employees and is now all set to bring the benefits of VoLTE to its diverse customer base.

The VoLTE solution by Telenor is developed on an OpenSource platform and has been customized and developed in-house and deployed on the DevOps model. Furthermore, it also to enable Telenor Pakistan to offer tailored solutions to its customers as well as provide add-on services to them with efficiency and agility.
