Islamabad – February 18, 2026: Jazz has completed a Proof of Concept for a fully converged Single Voice Core, marking a significant milestone in its network evolution strategy.
The trial, conducted in collaboration with Huawei, validated the technical and operational feasibility of consolidating multi-generation voice services onto a unified core platform. The initiative evaluated the integration of 2G voice alongside VoLTE and VoWiFi services within a single intelligent architecture.
The objective was to simplify the core network, enhance interoperability across 2G and 4G layers, and prepare the infrastructure for future 5G voice services.
Simplified Architecture, Improved Performance
The converged SVC architecture is designed to replace multiple legacy voice cores with a single platform capable of handling voice traffic across technologies. Trial results indicated reduced call setup times compared to traditional configurations, along with improved call stability and voice clarity.
The unified model is expected to accelerate large-scale VoLTE adoption across Jazz’s network, improving the overall calling experience for customers.
Scale and Network Strength
Jazz currently serves more than 73 million customers and holds a 37% market share in Pakistan. The operator’s infrastructure includes over 30,500 kilometers of optical fiber backbone and more than 17,800 active base stations nationwide.
By consolidating voice services into a single core, Jazz aims to deliver clearer calls, faster call setup, fewer dropped connections, and stronger reliability across both existing 4G networks and future 5G deployments.
The move reflects broader industry trends toward network virtualization and core convergence, as operators seek to reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and future-proof their infrastructure.
