Seamless roaming enables a mobile operator's data subscribers to remain continuously connected as they cross network boundaries and use different radio access networks, including Wi-Fi, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and emerging technologies such as WiMAX. Subscribers retain the same IP address for the duration of the session, so the mobile operator can continually offer for-fee content and services. The operator can also push software updates and troubleshoot user-specific problems to improve customer satisfaction.
