• Improve coverage
• Ensure quality isn’t dictated by Wi-Fi alone
• Smooth migration of customer base to 4G – support
WCDMA and LTE customers with the same hardware
• Acquire new customers or break in to wireless (CLECs)
• Facilitate move to VoLTE – offer superior voice and
enable network consolidation (opportunity to refarm
2G/3G spectrum)
• Offer new features/services – “blend” Wi-Fi and cellular
for a wireline experience, wirelessly
The move to 4G
