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.

## Configuring cellular private network

**Procedure**

1. Go to <font color="#323232">Policies &amp; Configs &gt; Configurations</font>.
2. Select <font color="#323232">Add New</font> **> Apple > iOS / tvOS > Cellular Private Network**. The Add Cellular Private Network dialog box opens.
3. Configure the settings as described in [Cellular Private Network settings](docId\:m9RJlDPJaTbmWit1fdn5Z).
4. Click **Add +** to add a new row for **Geofences** configuration as described in [Geofence properties](docId\:m9RJlDPJaTbmWit1fdn5Z). Ivanti EPMM allows to add 1000 rows to define geolocation for private network activation.
5. Click **Save**.

The following table summarizes the cellular private network settings:
