Avantel, one of Colombia’s fast growing operators, has selected Nokia Networks to deploy VoLTE and LTE small cells in the country. Nokia Networks willl also implement and integrate its complete IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Open TAS (Telephony Application Server), Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and Border gateway (Open BGW) to enable VoLTE services. In addition, Nokia Networks has also implemented its Flexi Zone LTE small cell solution to further enhance Avantel’s network capacity and coverage in Colombia, including major cities and rural areas. 

The VoLTE implementation marks as the first in Colombia and Latin America, claims Nokia Networks. According to Nokia, with crystal clear voice quality and optimized performance under traffic load, complemented by a better network performance, Avantel’s subscribers in Bogotá, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla and Bucaramanga can look forward to best-in-class voice and data services that will soon be available across the country.  

Raul Amaya, CTO, Avantel 
To deliver on our slogan of “productivity without limits” to our clients, Nokia Networks is our first-choice vendor for enabling the roll out of VoLTE and small cells in Colombia. Nokia also is the sole supplier of our LTE network and together we have gained a crucial first-mover advantage in delivering an unmatched service experience to our subscribers, who are the heart of every initiative undertaken at Avantel.

Hermes Figueroa, Head of Customer Business Team, Local Operators in Latin America, Nokia Networks
With this engagement, we have moved an important step further in our ever-expanding partnership with Avantel. We are proud to drive an initiative that will earmark the beginning of VoLTE services in Colombia and Latin America – setting a benchmark of mobile technology evolution in our region.
