Vertical handover
1.2 Vertical handoffs between WLAN and UMTS (CDMA2000) have attracted a great

the higher bandwidth and lower cost of WLAN as well as better mobility support and larger coverage
of UMTS.
To support vertical handover, a mobile terminal needs to have a dual mode card, for example
one that can work under both WLAN and UMTS frequency bands and modulation schemes.
