access point for applications that need to connect to
the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a
data connection using a WLAN internet access point.
The active WLAN connection ends when you end the
data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet
data is active. You can only be connected to one WLAN
access point device at a time, but several applications
can use the same internet access point.
