Additionally, an APN can provide information on the operator’s domain network and where it is located. APNs are used by carriers to control the data connection types, security certificates and IP addresses used by the connecting device. In very simple terms, APNs allow a device to hop from its cellular network to a private one or the public Internet. A private Access Point Name allows the mobile device to enter an IP network but with added security and control for IoT applications.
