For detailed instructions on using Wi-Fi, refer to “7�1�2 Wi-Fi”.

11�1�9 More\VPN
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile 
devices with access to network resources and software applications on 
their home network when they connect via other wireless or wired 
networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need 
to keep application sessions open at all times, throughout the working 
day, as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters 
gaps in coverage, or suspends-and-resumes their devices to preserve 
battery life. A conventional VPN can't survive such events because the 
network tunnel is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time 
out, fail, or even the computing device itself to crash. 
For more information on VPN, refer to “7�5 Connecting to virtual 
private networks ”.
