About using Wi-Fi with VPN and software tokens

If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device and if your organization uses a VPN to control access to its network, you might be able to log in to the VPN and access your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled device, you might also need a software token to connect to your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network.
