	All eyes are on MetroPCS as VoLTE momentum grows The industry is closely watching flat-rate carrier MetroPCS to see if it will deploy VoLTE in the first quarter of this year, making it the first operator worldwide to commercially launch VoLTE, the GSMA-backed standard for delivering voice calls over LTE networks. Mavenir is one of the VoLTE vendors working with MetroPCS.

He also cautions that LTE networks can create opportunities for “over-the-top” competitors to offer new services to consumers if operators are not ready to deploy these services themselves.
	MetroPCS to be the first with VoLTE Mavenir Systems and Acme Packet are VoLTE solution suppliers for MetroPCS. The VoLTE deployment is part of the carrier's strategy to optimize its scarce spectrum resources, as VoLTE is significantly more efficient than the existing CDMA network.

	VoLTE: The Mobile Operator Value Proposition Voice remains a killer app that can’t be ignored. Although Long Term Evolution (LTE) is best known for multi-megabit speeds,voice remains a killer app. In fact, operators that launch LTE with voice support (called VoLTE) can expect twice as much average revenue per user (ARPU) as rivals that offer LTE as a data-only service, and presents an opportunity says Shubh Agarwal, Mavenir's VP of Marketing.
	The Emergence of Second-class Mobile Citizens Shubh Agarwal, VP of Marketing for Mavenir Systems says that carriers believe that the transition to LTE is really their last chance to avoid becoming a dumb pipe delivering data. He says carriers like Mavenir's gear because it allows them to control the quality of the customer experience for high-bandwidth consuming services such as video chat.
	Does Apple iMessage Threaten SMS? Could iMessage completely replace SMS? Shubh Argawal, VP of Marketing for Mavenir Solutions thinks not. "iMessage will offer another way for end-users to communicate, with enhanced user experiences. It is a clear assault on mobile operators, although given that it remains a closed Apple system it will not kill off SMS."
	VoLTE: Complementing LTE VoLTE will enable operators to leverage growing investment in low-cost voice core. It will help in adding telephony revenues quickly to LTE investment. Mavenir Systems in May 2011 launched the availability of VoLTE for deploying voice and messaging services over LTE.
	Could MetroPCS take over T-Mobile's slot in the Tier I carrier ranks? MetroPCS is being very aggressive about moving its legacy services to LTE. MetroPCS has already shifted all of its 4G customers’ SMS and MMS traffic onto the LTE network using Mavenir’s IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based messaging platform, and currently working on doing the same with voice.
	VoLTE - Timing the Opportunity When 4G LTE launches, that means that voice and SMS messaging can be delivered over a SIP/IMS network, opening the door for video and multimedia services such as RCS, RCS-e or Converged IP Messaging (CPM).
