If the editor asks, what is the main business of the three operators today? The first intuitive reaction of many users will presumably be to sell traffic... But at least a decade ago, the "trump card" of operators belonged to the communications business, that is, voice calls.
Users with a little longer network age know that the content of the mobile phone package of that year was mainly composed of the number of text messages and the length of the call. However, with the evolution of communication technology from generation to generation, various mobile phone apps have risen from the ground, and now more and more users use the Network to call, and fewer and fewer people use mobile phones to make calls.
According to this trend, will mobile phone calls be completely replaced by network calls? It's like the new media gradually encroaching on paper media in the past. On this question, Xiaobian saw that some users' answers were very crisp, and also used a complete replacement for the word. As everyone knows, there are already operators quietly "amplifying the move".
Mobile has launched 5GVONR in a low-key manner in some areas
Recently, sharp-eyed netizens found that remote rural areas have occasionally received 700M 5G signals from China Mobile during the New Year. Of course, this is not the key, the key is that VONR can also be used under the 5G network. That is to say, whether it is mobile 2.6G or 700M 5G, it can access the Internet while talking, and this mode has finally realized one of the application scenarios of 5G.
It seems that in the deployment of VONR, mobile is once again leading, but according to Xiaobian's observation, in addition to mobile, there are also a small number of netizens who respond to the fact that Unicom's VONR can also be used, and there is no telecommunications news. From this point of view, many mobiles should be deploying VONR, but they have not yet entered the stage of large-scale publicity, and if they do not pay special attention, the average person will not know.
Netizen: VoNR trial commercial, stable satisfactory
According to the self-reports of netizens who have used VONR calls, they are very satisfied with the stability. VONR can "support" up!
First, the sound quality is indeed improved compared to the previous VoLTE. This is inevitable, 5G speed is faster, the network is more smooth than 4G, and it can better ensure that voice work is in a high-quality encoding and high bit rate state.
Second, the connection is faster. When you try to play 10086, when voNR is turned on, it takes about 3.5 seconds from pressing the call out button to the call timing, and about 4.5 seconds when the VoNR is turned off. Of course, this is not as big as the gap between VoLTE and CSFB.
Third, the stability is good. During the trial period, the phones were called through at one time, and there was no dropped, one-way sound, and all silent.
Can operators regain the home of the voice call market in the 5G era?
Xiaobian believes that before discussing whether VoNR can do vx voice, it is better to look at the results of the current competition between mobile phone calls and social app voice.
No matter which app is used to make a call, the premise must be that both sides of the call need to be friends with each other, and in the case of a good data network, so the social app voice is mostly used for calls between relatives and friends, if you encounter very important and urgent things, or mobile phone calls are more convenient and direct.
The quality of mobile phone calls is also unmatched by current social apps. After all, its call quality completely relies on network speed, in the case of slow network speed, there will be delay, stuttering, no sound, cut off, etc., directly affecting the user experience and call quality.
Since the voice call technology in the pure 5G environment has been realized, the competition point must have fallen back to the traditional voice call head again, and the result is how it will be, let's wait and see! I hope that after the mobile officially commercial 5G VoNR, the price will not be too high and cold.
