Despite the growth of 4G networks, wireless voice traffic continues to travel over the 3G portion of carrier networks until carriers deploy voice over LTE (VoLTE), which should provide users will significantly better audio quality during phone calls. Verizon recently <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/117976″>delayed their deployment of VoLTE until 2013, in part because incomplete LTE build outs and the inability to handoff calls between 3G and 4G networks mean the user experience would be highly clunky (for lack of a more technical term). Helping a little this week is a Qualcomm announcement that the company has completed the first “seamless” call handoff between an LTE and WCDMA network. Despite the advancement, it’s still not likely VoLTE sees widespread adoption until late in 2013.
