Access Point Name
Access Point Name or APN is the name of an access point for GPRS.

An access point is:

  • An Internet network to which a mobile can be connected
  • A set of settings which are used for that connection
  • A particular option in a set of settings in a mobile phone

When a GPRS mobile phone sets up a PDP context, the access point is selected. At this point an access point name (APN) is determined.
