WWAN - Wireless Wide-Area-Network
#################################

The Wireless Wide-Area-Network interface provides access (through a wireless
modem/wwan) to wireless networks provided by various cellular providers.

VyOS uses the `interfaces wwan` subsystem for configuration.

WirelessModem (WWAN) options
============================

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wwan <interface> apn <apn>

   Every WWAN connection requires an :abbr:`APN (Access Point Name)` which is
   used by the client to dial into the ISPs network. This is a mandatory
   parameter. Contact your Service Provider for correct APN.

The following example is based on a Sierra Wireless MC7710 miniPCIe card (only
the form factor in reality it runs UBS) and Deutsche Telekom as ISP. The card
is assembled into a :ref:`pc-engines-apu4`.

.. code-block:: none

  set interfaces wwan wwan0 apn 'internet.telekom'
  set interfaces wwan wwan0 address 'dhcp'
