Handheld users today have the luxury of multi-radio handsets that gives them a lot more wireless access network options. Consumers
expect devices to be intelligent enough to connect them to the most preferred networks or optimized networks (3G, 3.5G, WiMAX, LTE &
WiFi) automatically. They are also exposed to a wide range of internet-based applications that they are accustomed to use on the move.
With the increased uptake on smartphones and internet-based applications, Operators faced with congestion on its cellular network can
also offload data services to non-cellular networks to free up valuable 3G network resources.
