Section 10: Connections
Your phone includes features to connect to the internet and
to other devices, via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Dial Up
Networking.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that provides
access to local area networks. Use your phone’s Wi-Fi
feature to:
•
Access the Internet for browsing, or to send or receive email.
•
Access your corporate network.
•
Use hotspots provided by hotels or airports while traveling.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing Wireless
Access Point (WAP), also called a “hot spot”. WAPs can be
Open (unsecured, as with most hotspots), or Secured
(requiring you to provide login credentials). Your phone
supports the 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi protocol.
