OPPO conducts its first 5G VoNR call in India
OPPO has successfully conducted its first 5G Voice over New Radio (VoNR) call in India from its "5G Innovation" lab in Hyderabad. The call was made using an end-to-end standalone (SA) network provided by Keysight test solutions and a Reno6 series smartphone. By demonstrating 5G VoNR call across 3GPP-defined frequency, the brand has taken a step forward in the deployment of 5G in India.
Why does it matter?
The 5G technology is making great advancements in the global markets. While many countries have started rolling out the network for commercial use, India is still in the trial phase. With the success of OPPO's 5G VoNR call, the company has placed itself as a 5G pioneer and a suitable mobile phone partner for operators and suppliers building 5G networks in India.
'OPPO is making great strides to offer better 5G experience'
"The VoNR call from our Hyderabad-based 5G lab is another milestone in OPPO's innovation journey," said Tasleem Arif, OPPO India R&D Head. "As the 5G pioneer in India, the team is making great strides to explore true potential of 5G technology and bring a better 5G experience to Indian consumers." OPPO and Keysight's collaboration was initiated in 2018 to accelerate the commercialization of 5G.
What is VoNR?
VoNR or Voice/Video over 5G New Radio is a call service that uses the 5G network's SA architecture. It provides lower latency along with improved video and sound quality as compared to existing call services. In this case, the call was placed by emulating a 5G Radio Access Network (RAN), a 5G core network, and an IMS server using the Keysight wireless test platform.
