<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Voice-over-5G users are projected to reach 2.5 billion globally by 2026, growing from 290 million in 2022, according to Juniper Research<\/a>. The research firm though has projected that voice revenue will decline at a rate of 16% over the next four years.

The
5G voice users<\/a> will grow at 780% and this will be driven by increased 5G<\/a> rollouts following a slow period during the pandemic.

Voice-over-5G leverages the software-based nature of
5G networks<\/a> to offer Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for business voice services over operator networks.

The research firm recommends that operators should prioritize interactive calling, intelligent call routing, and the integration of AI-based IVR (
Interactive Voice Services<\/a>) as these provide the “most immediate return on investment” of Voice-over-5G..

In particular, the report found interactive calling as a key opportunity for operators who have launched 5G to provide more valuable voice services and compete with OTT voice apps.

Interactive calling leverages 5G networks to offer advanced voice calling functionality, including interactive content and screen sharing, directly in the native calling app on smartphones, which negates the need for third-party applications.
