[Shenzhen, China, September 26, 2024] GlobalData, a renowned consulting firm, has released its latest IMS and Voice Core: Competitive Landscape Assessment report. It recognizes Huawei’s Single Voice Core (SVC) as the sole leader in the market, achieving a perfect score in all dimensions — a first in the report’s history. This achievement highlights the exceptional competitiveness and market performance of the SVC solution. Huawei was also Sole Leader in the previous GlobalData report.
Huawei SVC reconfirmed as sole leader
The 2024 version of the report notes that as 5G deployments accelerate and voice services transition from 2G/3G to VoLTE/VoNR, operators are confronting the complexities of managing multi-platform and multi-generation voice networks. This growing complexity demands a convergent voice network that can seamlessly support 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G services. The report acknowledges Huawei SVC’s leadership in this respect, commending its outstanding contributions to developing simplified, stable, and high-quality voice and video networks. Notably, the report notes Huawei’s pioneering efforts in developing and commercializing New Calling technology. The report ranks Huawei SVC as a leader in all five categories: solution architecture, platform and performance, feature and application support, interoperability, and deployment experience.
When it comes to solution architecture, Huawei SVC stands out as the only convergent voice solution in the industry. It offers comprehensive support for a wide range of services including 2G/3G/4G/5G voice, VoBB, VoIP, and VoWiFi. This unique capability enables operators to simplify their network architecture, reduce operational costs, and enhance overall efficiency.
In the category of platform and performance, Huawei SVC is built on the company’s innovative dual-engine container architecture. It guarantees operators’ network investments are protected and enables a seamless evolution of voice networks to 5G/5G-A. Additionally, SVC’s high-reliability redundancy architecture provides operators with a robust defense against the threat of network disconnection.
In terms of feature and application support, Huawei takes a leadership role in launching the New Calling solution, with flagship services such as visualized voice calling and real-time translation now in large-scale commercial use. This has enabled operators to drive revenue growth and capitalize on the opportunities presented by this innovative technology. New Calling has gained widespread verification in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, and is rapidly expanding its global presence.
In terms of interoperability, Huawei SVC offers a comprehensive solution that goes beyond standard 3GPP VoLTE roaming. Its innovative Single Voice Roaming (SVR) solution enables quick and seamless VoLTE roaming with no changes to existing 2G/3G roaming settlement mechanisms. This simplifies VoLTE roaming deployment and accelerates the transition away from 2G/3G networks.
In the area of deployment experience, Huawei SVC has been commercially deployed on over 420 networks worldwide, serving a massive 1.7 billion VoLTE users and 200 million 2G/3G users. Additionally, New Calling has gained significant traction in China, attracting more than 10 million users.
As 5G-Advanced and AI continue to mature, operators can leverage their natural advantages to create a new generation of voice services. By harnessing the benefits of app-free, terminal-agnostic, and real-time experiences, operators can transform users’ dial pads into intelligent service entries, unlocking new development opportunities and driving growth. Huawei will continue to drive innovation, and help operators to build robust fundamental networks, make the most of business opportunities with 5G-A, and achieve sustained business success.
