ACCESS POINT NAME (APN)

Let us help you reach your customers at scale.

We offer simple and effective APN solutions at an unbeatable rate.

WHAT IS AN APN?

An APN is a configuration setting on mobile devices that connects them to a carrier's cellular network, enabling internet access and multimedia messaging services (MMS). It acts as a gateway between the cellular network and the internet, ensuring data is sent and received correctly. If your APN is configured incorrectly, a device may be unable to access the internet, send or receive messages, or perform other network-related functions.

WHY WE OFFER APN?

• As Bluecom we provide an aggregated APN solution that enables the use of the same APN name, regardless of the Mobile Network Operator SIM card used.

• With this solution, our goal is to route customer traffic onto the customer's network.

• Our APN offers a distinct solution with a branded management dashboard and the capability to offer multiple operator SIM cards on one APN.

• APN statistics are nearly real-time and allow users to be blocked or have their data allowance increased through a management portal.

• The Bluecom solution delivers immediate value, as customers can promptly identify inactive and ghost SIM cards.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF APNs IN MOBILE NETWORKS?

• Essentially, when a user tries to access the internet on their mobile device, the device refers to the APN settings to establish a connection with the carrier's network.

• The APN determines how the device should connect to the internet and which IP address should be assigned, ensuring the user's data is routed correctly.

• Beyond internet connectivity, APNs also play a role in defining how other services such as MMS or tethering are accessed.

• In essence, the APN acts as a set of instructions, guiding the device on how to interface with the carrier's network for various services.

• In the broader context of mobile networks, APNs are vital because they ensure users can access the services they need when they need them.
