Voice technology has evolved over the years from being circuit switched in legacy 2G/3G to packet switched in 4G/5G.

VoNR is a 5G technology that offers voice communication services over 5G networks, replacing traditional VoLTE in 4G.

It uses the same 5G technology for data transmission, providing high-quality voice services with low latency, improved network coverage, and enhanced security features.

VoNR is cost-effective for operators like Jio, Airtel etc, supporting both data and voice services in their 5G networks.
