What is an APN?
A mobile device initiating a data connection must be configured with an APN or Access Point Name to present to the mobile operator. The carrier will then review this APN identifier to decide what type of network connection should be created, for example: which IP addresses should be assigned to the customer device, which security methods should be used, and how or if, it should be connected to some private or public network.
