Jio to deploy VoNR tech to offer calling service on its 5G network; develops own VoLTE

NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries Limited said that its telecom arm, Reliance Jio, will deploy voice over new radio or VoNR tech to offer voice service on its future 5G network in the country.

Jio Platforms, which owns Jio, has already developed its own IMS (IP Multimedia subsystem), which powers its voice over LTE or VoLTE services nationally and handles more than 10 billion minutes of calls on a daily basis.

RIL President Kiran Thomas said that the IMS for the 4G networks is backward compatible and will work with the 5G network.
