I haven't seen any modem supporting both types at the same time. So CDMA/EVDO is a separate modem and so is UMTS/GSM/LTE. For these modems you can RAT selection. For example ISI and also HSO have support for RAT selection on UMTS/GSM. No LTE since I haven't seen any hardware for it so far. > - I guess connman needs to know of the different connections such a > modem supports and trigger them accordingly?

See my comment above and look at the description of the RAT interface we already have. Regards Marcel --===============8906477152969697944==--
