Abstract
A method and system for improving mobile bandwidth consumption is provided. The method includes establishing a wireless connection between a mobile device and a first antenna of a wireless connection device located within a specified geographical zone. Movement of the mobile device is tracked within the specified geographical zone and it is determined that the mobile device has exited a first subzone of the specified geographical zone. Additionally, it is determined that that the mobile device has entered a second subzone of the specified geographical zone. In response, communications between the mobile device and the wireless connection device via the first antenna are disabled. Additionally, communications between the mobile device and the wireless connection device via a second antenna of the wireless connection device are enabled.
