Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows users to make voice calls over a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular phone line. Overall, VoIP sales fell by 12 percent between 2017 and 2018 compared to the previous year. The slump is being fueled by the slow development of the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network and stagnating spending. VoLTE has been the key growth driver for VoIP and IMS, so the barriers to broadband network expansion are hindering the VoIP market.
