Define Access Point Name

Question

Define Access Point Name?

Answer 1

Access point name (or APN) recognizes an IP packet data network (or PDN), which a mobile data user desires to communicate with. Additionally to recognizing a PDN, an APN might also be employed to state the kind of service, (example: connection to wireless application protocol (or WAP) server, multimedia messaging service (or MMS)), which is given by the PDN. APN is employed in 3GPP data access networks, example: general packet radio service (or GPRS), evolved packet core (or EPC).
