Can't the signal be encrypted first by client and then sent to cellular network?
With audio encryption hardware, sure. Speak into that and feed its output to the mic on the phone
I think they are interested in a purely software solution
I think you're right. I know for a fact that I do not know of any, not for regular phone calls. Obviously if you want to use the internet and data, there's tons of options.
do you know of any purchasable equipment? I've never been able to find any, then again I'm not versed in such things too much
I don't myself. So I am not sure.
Yeah third party apps can do end to end encryption. It uses the data network and not the cellular network then though.
Google Fi on Android actually does run E2E on calls https://fi.google.com/about/end-to-end-encrypted-calls/
