[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Samsung Electronics announced on the 30th that it has developed a core solution that enhances the efficiency of 5G voice call service (VoNR) and will commercialize it targeting global mobile manufacturers and network operators.

VoNR is a technology that supports both voice calls and data using the 5G network. Samsung Electronics explained that compared to the current method where voice calls switch to the 4G network during 5G network usage, VoNR has a higher call connection success rate and significantly reduces call connection time. It also added that high-spec games or large-capacity video streaming services can be used quickly without speed degradation during voice calls.

Earlier, Samsung Electronics applied VoNR to communication chips such as the 'Exynos 2100,' which integrates the 5G modem chip and the system-on-chip (SoC) that acts as the brain of mobile devices. In July, a Singaporean telecommunications operator first commercialized the VoNR service, and currently, Samsung provides 5G VoNR integrated solutions to mobile device manufacturers in China and other countries, conducting localization and automation tests for VoNR commercialization with global network operators.

Samsung Electronics is focusing on market expansion based on its technology competitiveness in the mobile telecommunications field, certified by the industry. Market research firm Strategy Analytics (SA) predicted that Samsung Electronics Foundry (semiconductor contract manufacturing) will produce 54% of the world's 5G chips this year.

Kim Jong-han, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics' System LSI Business Division, said, "As the number of 5G smartphone users rapidly increases, demands for various 5G technologies and services are rising. Samsung Electronics is actively promoting the development of next-generation communication mobile SoC technologies, including supporting global network operators in commercializing VoNR services."
