In January 2023, Vodafone successfully performed an internet call using its new network to enable connected devices, opening the path for crucial applications such as emergency monitoring and responsive healthcare in distant locations. The Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) call, often known as 4G calling, was made in Italy over Vodafone's commercial Category M (CAT-M) network. The network is perfect for serving many Internet of Things (IoT) devices across a single mobile phone site without reducing service to smartphone users. This is Europe's first VoLTE call on active commercial CAT-M network infrastructure.
In July 2022, Nokia and AT&T Mexico established a partnership to deliver the benefits of 5G to the country. Nokia was also chosen as a strategic partner for AT&T Mexico's 5G Innovation Lab to investigate the creation of 5G use cases specific to Mexico and the local 5G ecosystem.
