Why voice?
Voice is immediate, more human and more intuitive. Not only is it much faster than writing, it’s data rich – and a short call or voice alert helps us convey far more information than a written message. Sending messages back and forth has no urgency and can’t convey detail. You can see there’s something wrong but don’t know scale of emergency. That all changes when our voices connect us.
The technology driving Voice IoT
Voice IoT is coming into its own just when Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology is winning new admirers and adopters. By enabling voice information to be sent securely between locations over a data channel rather than a separate voice channel, VoLTE is providing a dependable framework for data transfer. To gear our partners and their customers for the future, OV is making significant investments in VoLTE.
Multi-network voice is essential
Multi-network is the only way to provide the guaranteed connectivity our partners and their customers need. A multi-network provider like OV can help ensure a system network can switch seamlessly to a network that’s available at any given moment, ensuring a connection is always available.
At OV, we’ve established our own global network and offer dependable international services through more than 600 global carrier agreements. As long as a network in the device’s territory is offering 2G or 3G services, we’ll be able to provide our partners with these services.
Making critical connections
Voice IoT is a must in critical situations. In health and telecare, the ability to speak to a caregiver is not a luxury – it’s an essential. Users in this setting need instant reassurance that help is on the way. For remote workers, voice IoT may be the only reliable way for them to reach their support teams if anything goes wrong. And in industrial settings, the instant connection that our Voice IoT services deliver can make a huge difference in maintaining productivity and saving time and money.
