Verizons LG Revolution to await voice over LTE mid-year

Verizon (like most operators) has thus far been decorous about the plans for rolling out voice job services upon the LTE network, in partial since voice isn’t the core assistance of LTE — everything is simply treated as data, which means carriers have needed to coddle their options as well as confirm how (and when) to add voice into the brew. We’d gotten a deceptive sense from Verizon’s LTE launch event late final year that 4G voice wasn’t in the company’s 2011 intentions, though it turns out that’s not true: they’ve now come out to contend that the LG Revolution — announced during CES final month — will be Verizon’s initial VoLTE device when it launches mid-year. Naturally, it’ll tumble back to CDMA voice when you’re out of LTE operation, but the pierce will represent a carrier’s initial baby step into the 4G voice area; it’ll suggest higher tune peculiarity than you’re used to with traditional mobile as well as landline calls (akin to HD Voice, we suppose which will be one of the selling points when it launches. Every indication is that this will be the glacially delayed transition — it’ll take years for handsets to support the standard upon the wide scale and LTE footprints to enhance nationally, never thoughts inter-carrier call harmony — but it’s a large move nonetheless. Look for more news on this at MWC next week.
