determining, at a radio device, one or more conditions of a broadband network;
receiving, at the radio device, from a narrowband network site of a narrowband network, access criteria indicating that a subset of a plurality of radio devices can register with the narrowband network site to communicate on the narrowband network; and
in response to the one or more conditions of the broadband network meeting one or more given conditions and receiving the access criteria:
when the radio device is communicating on the broadband network, continuing, at the radio device, communicating on the broadband network; and
when the radio device is communicating on the narrowband network, or attempting to register with the narrowband network site, switching, at the radio device, from communicating on the narrowband network, or attempting to register with the narrowband network site, to communicating on the broadband network.
