Device type
Description
All devices
All devices use this communication path to send and receive configuration data, such as device commands, policy and profile updates, and to send device information and activity reports. For more information, see Receiving device configuration updates.
iOS
 devices
You can enable the 
BlackBerry Secure Gateway
 to allow 
iOS
 devices to connect to your work mail server through the 
BlackBerry Infrastructure
 and 
BlackBerry UEM
. If you use the 
BlackBerry Secure Gateway
, you don't have to expose your mail server outside of the firewall to allow users to receive work email when they are not connected to your organization's VPN or work 
Wi-Fi
 network.
iOS
Android Enterprise
Samsung Knox Workspace
, and 
BlackBerry 10
 devices.
Devices that have an enterprise connectivity profile configured to use 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 can use a secure IP tunnel through the 
BlackBerry Infrastructure
 to transfer data between apps and your organization's network.
For 
iOS
 devices, 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 can provide a secure tunnel between your organization's network and all apps or only specified apps.
For 
Android Enterprise
 and 
BlackBerry 10
 devices, 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 provides a secure tunnel between all work space apps and your organization's network.
For 
Samsung Knox Workspace
 devices, 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 can provide a secure tunnel between your organization's network and all work apps or only specified work apps.
iOS
 and 
Android
 devices with 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps installed
Enterprise connectivity for 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps does not use the 
BlackBerry Infrastructure
. Instead, data in transit between 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps and 
BlackBerry Proxy
 can travel through the 
BlackBerry Dynamics NOC
 or can bypass the NOC using 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 Direct Connect.
BlackBerry 10
 devices 
BlackBerry 10
 devices use this communication path to send and receive work data when this is the most direct, cost-efficient route available.
