OPPO, Ericsson, and MediaTek realize VoNR voice and video calls, bringing high-quality 5G phone experience closer to reality

OPPO announced that it has successfully conducted voice and video calls solely based on the next-generation 5G network, bringing high-quality 5G experience closer to reality.

Partnering with Ericsson and MediaTek, the VoNR (Voice/Video on New Radio) calls were made on a modified commercial smartphone from OPPO featuring MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 series SoC using an end-to-end 5G Standalone(SA) network powered by Ericsson Radio System products and solutions.

VoNR is a basic call service that completely relies on the 5G network, specifically with SA architecture which is known as one of the mainstream architectures of future 5G networks. Compared with earlier call services, VoNR provides significantly lower latency, along with greatly improved sound quality and picture quality, resulting in an elevated overall experience for users.

OPPO works with global partners to conduct the world’s first DSS data call

OPPO has become the world’s first smart device brand to support DSS, and plans to roll out DSS-enabled 5G smartphones next year

Just this December 2, 2019, OPPO announced that it has made the industry’s first DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) data call using its world’s first DSS-enabled 5G smartphone via a collaboration with Ericsson, Qualcomm Technologies (a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated), Swisscom, and Telstra.  DSS technology enables carriers to leverage existing 4G and 5G frequency spectrums and networks which accelerates the global deployment of 5G services and bring 5G experience on a broader scale.
