Voice over LTE

[Silent-Hunter]

Can Voice over LTE be implemented in software, or does the modem have to specifically support it?

I ask because I know the Pyra is meant to last a long time, and I imagine they'll eventually turn off the 3G network like they did with 2G.

In Aus, 3G will be off in 2020 (with Telstra anyway), it's a bit sad really.. Not sure of any answer to your question though

From the datasheet: "Voice Support for LTE via VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and CSFB (circuit-switched fallback) (PLS8-US/-E only)"
So regardless of if we *need* hardware support or not, it's there.

Wonderful! That is a load off my mind, thank you! I had thought I read somewhere that our modem didn't support that.

The old datasheet didn't list it but the new one does.

Oh, that's odd. Did they add it through some sort of firmware update? Or did they revise the hardware?

From what I've read on VoLTE, it's all in the firmware and up. No need for any hardware changes.
