Wi-Fi Hotspot Types
The AT&T Global Network Client categorizes Wi-Fi hotspots in five categories, Encrypted, preferred
private, preferred, non-preferred and free. More information about each type is shown in the following
table.
TYPE DESCRIPTION
AT&T Hotspots The hotspot is an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
Partner
Hotspots
The hotspot is owned by a partner of AT&T. You must be
authorized to use Wi-Fi by your Customer Account Administrator.
An AT&T account, user ID and password are required to associate
to the hotspot. This hotspot type is usually located in a public
location.
Third-party
Hotspots
The hotspot is neither an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot nor an AT&T
partner hotspot. The AT&T Global Network Client will not
automatically attempt to use these hotspots. You can select one
manually if you are sure the hotspot is safe for use.
Encrypted The hotspot supports encrypted traffic, requires a password to
associate and the password is unknown to the AT&T Global
Network Client. This hotspot type may be located in a private or
public location.
