Cell C taps into disruptive technology by using ng-voice's Hyperscale IMS solution on AWS to launch VoLTE
HAMBURG, Germany, November 7, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Cell C is launching its VoLTE services using ng-voice’s fully cloud-native IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and ePDG (AAA) and has now successfully completed its first VoLTE call on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic deployment will enable the delivery of Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Voice over New Radio (VoNR) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) services, enhancing voice communications for all customers in South Africa and future-proofing Cell C’s network.
By leveraging ng-voice's cloud-native IMS, Cell C will benefit from the flexibility and scalability that cloud technology offers. This allows voice systems to be continuously updated, new services to be introduced quickly and operations to scale in line with the company's growing customer demand. Deploying ng-voice solutions in AWS eliminates the need for large hardware investments, making it the perfect solution for keeping voice production costs down.
Collaborating with ng-voice and AWS represents the ideal solution for Cell C, enabling the industry leader and technology pioneer to drive innovation in the region by leveraging ng-voice's cloud-native portfolio. This is perfectly suited to take advantage of the AWS Cloud and unlock the full potential of African networks.
Schalk Visser, Chief Technology Officer of Cell C, said: "We were looking for a solution that would enable us to deliver high quality, reliable, and cost-effective communications services to our customers, with the flexibility to scale as required, ng-voice's IMS on AWS is the perfect solution for this, guaranteeing unprecedented service resilience, combined with a very high level of automation and a low resource footprint.
