The first low-band SA 5G voice call using Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback to VoLTE. This enables high quality voice services utilizing VoLTE in the SA architecture while the industry is fully developing voice over new radio (VoNR) 5G technology.
The first low-band VoNR call on a production network. VoNR allows for voice calls to run over 5G.
