    11�1�6 More���\VPN settings
    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 suspend-and-resumes their devices to preserve battery life. A conventional VPN cannot 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,  please  refer  to  “6�6  Connecting  to virtual private networks”.
