Report: Voice-over-LTE fragmentation could slow deployments

The research firm examined the competing proposals, including Voice over LTE via Generic Access (VoLGA), Nokia Siemens Networks' Fast Track solution and the One Voice IMS-based approach. The firm found that a lack of consensus could slow large-scale LTE rollouts, and could give mobile WiMAX players a flaw to exploit. Release
