Genius APN

Genius APN (Access Point Name) is part of our suite of connectivity tools for businesses. Grant your workforce secure access to your company network, information and key applications with Connect Mobile’s Genius APN solution.

Think of an APN as a private and controlled mobile data connection, separate from the public internet, designed specifically for your business needs. Whether your team is on the road, in a warehouse, or at a remote location, APN ensures their devices are always securely connected to your systems. This allows you to unlock the value of a mobile workforce without compromising on network security.

Managed APN

Managed APN is a secure APN solution for businesses that need dedicated routed connections into their business network. This specialised solution is designed to provide secure network access for businesses with remote workers or IoT devices. It ensures that devices with a company-issued SIM card can only connect to the company's network, preventing access to unauthorised sites or services. This enables organisations to safeguard sensitive data, optimise operations, and improve overall productivity.

How it works

Device Compatibility

The solution works with various devices that use data connectivity, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and specialised IoT devices.

Dedicated Connection

A Managed APN establishes a direct connection between a remote device and the company's network. This connection is exclusive and isolated from the public internet.

Absolute Control

The APN SIM card is only allowed to connect to the company's network, giving the company full control over what resources the SIM card accesses internally. It also regulates access to the wider internet using custom firewall rules. This prevents employees from using the device for personal activities like social media, ensuring data security and compliance with company policies.
