Understanding VoLTE Roaming for S8 Home-Routed and Local Breakout Architectures
VoLTE, or Voice over Long Term Evolution, is beginning to rapidly revolutionize voice service for mobile communications. But making the transition to this new technology involves a number of challenges. A particularly critical component is enabling VoLTE roaming. In this video, an important concept related to VoLTE roaming – the difference between S8 home-routed and Local Breakout architecture -- is explained by Brian Beach, Senior Product Manager, Next-Generation Solutions, VoLTE and RCS, and Faron Achziger, Senior Product Manager, Mobile Transaction Services. Brian and Faron cover the most important aspects of these two technologies, including which technology is the most prevalent now, what the challenges and advantages of each are, and how they see S8 home-routed and local breakout evolving in the near future.
