Upgrade path should be 2G/4G-capable hardware
That at least is what is happening in Sweden in some networks. As 2G services diminish over time you move 2G site capacity to 4G. Depending on what kind of network you have to begin with of course.
For instance Tele2 is getting rid of old Motorola GSM equipment in favour of Huawei multi standard equipment.
Interesting times for sure.
