What is Dedicated APN used for?
Dedicated APNs are usually used by corporate organisations that need to collect sensitive customer and operational data from the field and then transfer the data back to a head office network.
Corporate organisations can link their geographically remote offices in one common network using a Dedicated APN for basic connectivity for remote locations and for facilitating the information flow between them and the head office by optimizing the business processes.
Even if you have IP VPN, you can use Dedicated APN as a backup solution for critical locations.
As a corporate organisation, you need a secure environment for your Internet of Things applications. A Dedicated APN is, therefore, a suitable solution for you.
