Wi-Fi Mobile Convergence (WMC) presents mobile carriers with a unique opportunity. It allows them to offer advanced new services to their subscribers, lowering churn and increasing average revenue per user, while increasing network capacity and coverage, and improving spectrum management. Subscribers will also benefit from convergence as it brings broadband connectivity and seamless coverage to their handsets, and gives them the convenience of a single handset and lower costs. Convergence capitalizes on a widespread Wi-Fi infrastructure (millions of homes, offices and hotspots worldwide) and the affordability and versatility of the technology.

WMC devices include phones, smartphones, and other mobile terminals with both cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces, designed to access either network with ease, automatically selecting the best available network at each location. Support for handover may allow devices to switch between air interfaces without dropping a voice call.
