Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices
16
Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® devices permit users with qualifying data plans to access BlackBerry services over a mobile network,
Wi-Fi network, or both networks simultaneously.
When users can access a mobile network and Wi-Fi network simulaneously, users can perform multiple tasks over both networks.
For example, a user with a BlackBerry® 8820 smartphone can send messages over a Wi-Fi network and can make a call over the
mobile network at the same time.
If users' mobile network providers make UMA technology (GAN technology) available, and users have subscribed to the UMA
feature, Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices can access the mobile network providers' voice services and data services over a mobile
network or a Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices can open a Wi-Fi connection from an enterprise Wi-Fi network or, with a VPN session, from a
home Wi-Fi network or Wi-Fi hotspot to connect directly to the BlackBerry Router.
Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices are designed to open a connection to the BlackBerry® Internet Service to access the BlackBerry
MDS Connection Service, BlackBerry® Messenger, and other BlackBerry devices for PIN messaging. You can verify with your
organization's wireless service provider whether your organization's service plan provides access to these services over a Wi-Fi
network.
Types of Wi-Fi networks
Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® devices can access BlackBerry services using enterprise Wi-Fi networks, home Wi-Fi networks, or
hotspots.
Type Description
enterprise Wi-Fi networks An enterprise Wi-Fi network has multiple wireless access points to provide
ubiquitous coverage, hotspot coverage, or ubiquitous and hotspot coverage. You
can use a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device in any coverage area.
You can configure an enterprise Wi-Fi network to require layer 2 authentication. An
organization might consider an enterprise Wi-Fi network to be untrusted and require
that all Wi-Fi connections to the organization's network occur through a VPN
concentrator. You must configure Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices to support the
authentication type that your organization uses.
An enterprise Wi-Fi network permits optimized access to the BlackBerry® Enterprise
Server over a direct IP connection to the BlackBerry Router.
