Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Voice over Mobile Broadband market is the refarming of 2G spectrum. During the period 2012-2016, the Global Telecom industry will continue to witness double digit growth in the LTE and HSPA subscriptions, which will cross 4 billion by 2016. To maximize and monetize user experience, the telecom operators will be contemplating the advantage of refarming the spectrum occupied by the legacy networks; this would help use the efficient spectrum to provide the high-end data applications along with voice. The refarming will enable the telecom operators to enhance the quality and capacity of their networks with spending exorbitantly in buying the spectrum. ”
According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the increasing requirement for traffic offloading. As long as mobile operators have visibility into the quality of the subscribers’ Wi-Fi connection (through a hotspot, a residential access point, or an enterprise network), they can decide which voice traffic can be routed through Wi-Fi while preserving or improving the quality of experience.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the implementation challenges. The overriding challenge for VoLTE equipment manufacturers is to ensure an enhanced quality and low latency of VoLTE technology that can convincingly drive users on legacy network to make a transition to LTE network.

Ltd., HTC Corp., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., LG Corp., Motorola Mobility LLC, Nokia Corp., Samsung Group, Sony Corp., TechFaith Wireless Inc., and ZTE Corp.
