without using the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager or first downloading the software
update to a computer.
Protecting a connection between a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device and an
enterprise Wi-Fi network
A Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device is designed to connect to enterprise Wi-Fi networks that use the IEEE® 802.11® standard.
The IEEE® 802.11i™ standard uses the IEEE® 802.1X™ standard for authentication and key management to protect enterprise
Wi-Fi networks. The IEEE 802.11i standard specifies that organizations must use the PSK protocol or the IEEE 802.1X standard
as the access control methods for Wi-Fi networks.
When you configure a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device to use an enterprise Wi-Fi network, you must configure the enterprise Wi-
Fi network and BlackBerry device to protect all message data and application data that the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and
BlackBerry device send to each other. For example, to help protect data, you can configure the BlackBerry device to authenticate
with the enterprise Wi-Fi network before the BlackBerry device can access the enterprise Wi-Fi network. You can also configure
the BlackBerry device and the enterprise Wi-Fi network to encrypt any communication that they send to each other.
For more information about protecting an enterprise Wi-Fi network, see the documentation from your organization’s Wi-Fi solution
provider.
How a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device can connect to the BlackBerry
Infrastructure
A Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device can connect directly to the BlackBerry® Infrastructure over the Internet to access the data
services that a wireless service provider offers, even if UMA is not available. If UMA is available, the BlackBerry device can also
access the voice services. A direct connection from the BlackBerry device to the BlackBerry Infrastructure is an alternative to the
connection from the BlackBerry device to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over the mobile network. If a user’s wireless service
provider makes UMA technology (also known as GAN technology) available, and the user subscribes to the UMA feature, the
BlackBerry device is designed to open an SSL connection to the GANC using an IPSec VPN tunnel over an enterprise Wi-Fi network.
The BlackBerry device and BlackBerry Infrastructure send all data to each other over an SSL connection. The SSL connection is
designed to encrypt the data that the BlackBerry device and BlackBerry Infrastructure send between each other.
