The launch marks an important milestone for the UAE\u2019s digital transformation objectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VoNR is a call service that uses the stand-alone architecture of the 5G network, providing lower latency and improved quality, resulting in an elevated calling experience and high-speed data. VoNR Call has been made and verified over a live multi-vendor ecosystem consisting of Core and Radio 5G SA related nodes from both Ericsson and Huawei. This innovative milestone is an important step towards the commercial introduction of seamless 5G voice services in e&amp;\u2019s cloud-native network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"KHALID MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800\" class=\"wp-image-32862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-1024x1536.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800-1080x1620.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KHALID-MURSHED_CTO1L_ssict_1200_1800.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khalid Murshed, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Etisalat UAE, said: \u201cThe launch of VoNR is in line with e&amp;\u2019s vision to bring the best in digital technologies, smart connectivity and innovative solutions to all our customers. With Ericsson and Huawei as our strategic partners for this project, we will maximise opportunities to further enhance the end-user communication experience by ensuring better voice continuity and quality. Today, handset manufacturers are keen to massively launch VoNR enabled devices in the market for which e&amp; is pleased to have its network-ready fulfilling the requirements of complete live multi-vendors ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ekow Nelson, Vice President Ericsson Middle East &amp; Africa, said: \u201cOver the past years, voice calling has become a key service in the UAE. As the UAE is driving ever-more digitalisation powered by 5G, high quality and seamless voice calling will become a must-have service for residents across the nation. With the launch of Etisalat UAE\u2019s first VoNR service, we are proud to play a continued role in helping the UAE realise its digital transformation objectives. We remain committed to providing network excellence to ensure the nation is equipped to offer the numerous digital opportunities that 5G will bring to the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson at Huawei said: \u201cAs 5G&nbsp; SA coverage expands within UAE, the demand for better&nbsp; voice quality with best possible experience is inevitable on 5G Core. This is why VoNR will be the key to further improve the customer\u2019s confidence trusting voice continuity in 5G coverage areas. Huawei, is fully committed to assist Etisalat on this digitalisation journey and would feel privileged to work with Etisalat to help them achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etisalat UAE\u2019s (part of e&amp;) customers will benefit from 5G stand-alone data browsing with ongoing voice calls, superior quality 5G voice services through \u201cHD voice +\u201d, faster call set-up, as well as robust security to prevent fraud and misuse of personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VoNR Enhanced Voice Services technology also removes voice distortion, water noise or any other types of voice disturbance that customers would have faced in the past. It is expected that new services will be rolled out through the VoNR ecosystem, such as accessing real-time mobile interactive gaming and voice call at the same time, exchanging secure media content during the voice call and experiencing interactive augmented and virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etisalat Group has changed its brand identity to e&amp;, effective from 23 February 2022. Its strategy aims to accelerate growth through the creation of a resilient business model representing the Group\u2019s main business pillars.
