What is Voice over LTE service

Dear,

The voice over LTE, VoLTE scheme was devised as a result of operators seeking a standardized system for transferring voice traffic over LTE. Originally LTE was seen as a completely IP cellular system just for carrying data and operators would be able to carry voice either by reverting to 2G/3G systems or by using VoIP. Operators, however saw the fact that a voice format was not define as a major omission for the system.
