According to a recent report, Reliance Jio has been testing Voice over New Radio (VoNR) behind the scenes.
- The goal is to ensure smooth interoperability between existing 4G VoLTE networks and new 5G infrastructure.
About Voice over New Radio (VoNR)
- Voice over 5G is also known as Voice over New Radio (VoNR). This standard allows voice calls over 5G networks instead of the current standard that uses 4G.
- Vo5G takes all the improvements of 5G – speed, capacity, responsiveness – and applies them squarely to voice.
- With 5G’s substantially higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to 4G LTE, VoNR calls benefit in a few key areas.
- Call quality is better with VoNR. It utilises more advanced audio codecs that provide superior clarity and fidelity based on 5G’s increased data capacity.
- Call connection time should be faster with VoNR thanks to 5G’s reduced network latency.
- The reliability and continuity of calls should be better under VoNR. There is lower packet loss, potentially leading to fewer voice cutouts.
