Your phone’s data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections including Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access. To use your phone’s Wi-Fi, you need access to a
wireless access point or "hotspot." The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depend on
several factors, including infrastructure and objects through which the signal passes.
