Cellular Private Network
Ivanti EPMM added a new Cellular Private Network configuration to support iOS 17 or above devices. EPMM allows you to configure several settings to geofence and to prefer cellular over Wi-Fi for security purposes.
Some device settings for an organisation’s private 5G and LTE network can be configured using an MDM solution or a configuration profile containing a Private Mobile Network payload. Only one Private Mobile Network payload is supported at a time.
