VoLTE support for nRF9160, is it available or will it be available?

[CCN_]

Exactly as the subject states, we are in the progress to start development on a portable device communicating over LTE-M (CAT-M1) and we are in need of voice communication.
We are hoping that the nRF9160 module will support VoLTE, otherwise we will have to go for a more boring approach and use a 2G module for our product.

We're thankful if anyone has any information if the nRF9160 supports VoLTE?

Best regards

Hello Patrik, 

There is currently no support for VoLTE on the nRF9160, and is not on the roadmap any time soon. Please follow the nRF9160 Development Status for more information regarding features, performance, and qualification leading up to mass production.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Patrik, I also need the ability to make voice calls (and was hoping to use the nrf9160).  Can you tell me which modules you're considering that support this?

Hello Matt, 

I'll be happy to discuss it but out of this forum since Nordic Semiconductors cannot supply us what we need and I do not wish to discuss competitor modules on this forum out of respect for Nordic Semi..

Please give me your email and we can discuss it further.

Thank you, I will attempt to private message you here with my email address.

Hi, I also wanted to make voice calls with the mentioned SiP. Do you mind to share with me other options that you already considered?
