<h2>IMSI Based Handover from GSM to GSM</h2>

<p>The IMSI-Based GSM-GSM Handover can be used, for example, in the following
cases:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>The host GSM operator offers GSM coverage in the same country
for several competing GSM operators.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The host GSM operator wants the BSS to prevent unnecessary HO
attempts of its own subscribers to the client operator's GSM network.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The client GSM operator wants to transfer own subscribers to
its own network whenever possible.</p>
</li>
</ul>
