Ericsson and Zain Jordan announced a strategic agreement to modernize and extend voice services utilizing the current Ericsson Cloud IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), cementing the two companies’ already strong collaboration at GITEX GLOBAL.
Wojciech Bajda, Vice President and Head of Gulf Council Countries, says: “Steps towards the superior voice and communications quality are vital in a considerable time of transformation. In line with the vision and strategy of the country, Jordan Vision 2025, we believe partnership and our joint commitment to advanced technologies allows us to support Zain Jordan with its strategic objectives. Today’s Cloud IMS agreement confirms our position as a major partner to Zain Jordan and we look forward to pushing the benchmark further in the Kingdom.”
Zain Jordan’s network will be strategically modernized to accommodate the migration of current 2G and 3G voice services to 4G/LTE networks. The agreement allows for capacity growth using Ericsson Cloud IMS to enable voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Wi-Fi calling for businesses and consumers in Jordan’s Hashemite Kingdom.
Voice over LTE services are a significant network development for Zain Jordan, allowing them to support voice calls on a wider range of smart devices and wearables. Furthermore, Wi-Fi calling allows consumers to make phone conversations over Zain Jordan’s network using simply a wireless internet connection, expanding the number of communication options accessible.
The signing of this arrangement, according to Zain Jordan, reinforces the current cooperation with Ericsson. In order to deliver the greatest service to its consumers, Zain Jordan is always looking for notable strategic partnerships that will help it achieve its strategic goals and expansion ambitions. According to Zain Jordan, the arrangement will benefit the company’s network and customers’ experiences. By making calls through VoLTE networks and wireless communications over the Wi-Fi network, the Cloud IMS solution will improve network performance and provide Zain Jordan’s consumers with improved quality voice conversations.
Customers in Jordan will benefit from better phone and communication services thanks to Ericsson Cloud IMS. The Cloud IMS solution supports Zain Jordan’s goals for advanced network capabilities in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by providing rich real-time communication services for both consumers and businesses over any access network and any device type, including smartphones and smart speakers and wearables.
