The Convergence of Cellular and WiFi Networks
Mike Vizard | ctoedge.com December 15, 2010

For the longest time, cellular networks and WiFi networks were largely considered competitive technologies. But like most things, a funny thing starts to happen when large numbers of end users start to actually use these technologies. In reality, it turns out that cellular and WiFi networks are starting to look a whole lot more complementary than competitive.

Case in point is an announcement from T-Mobile and Cisco under which T-Mobile will first look to route voice and data traffic over WiFi networks first before sending it over a cellular network. Obviously, end users will be happier because the cost of sending that traffic over a WiFi network usually run by the enterprise is a whole lot less expensive than paying to access the T-Mobile cellular network.
