eSRVCC Solution

Whats eSRVCC?

Overview
The LTE network at the initial phase covers only hot spots and is
limited in continuous coverage. Single radio voice call continuity
(SRVCC) or enhanced SRVCC (eSRVCC) enables subscribers to
continue their ongoing calls when they move from an LTE network
to a 2G or 3G network.
