# A hard handoff is one in which the channel in the source cell is released and only then the channel in the target cell is engaged. Thus the connection to the source is broken before the connection to the target is made -- for this reason such handoffs are also known as break-before-make. Hard handoffs are intended to be instantaneous in order to minimise the disruption to the call. A hard handoff is perceived by network engineers as an event during the call.
