# Access Points Names (APNs)

An Access Point Name (APN), which must be configured on your IoT devices, establishes a connection between the devices, the TELUS IoT network, and downstream services (internet, VPN tunnel, etc.).

**Shared APN**: m2m.telus.iot

**Public Static IP APN:** psw\.telus.iot

... Please submit a support request to have Public Static IPs assigned to your SIMs.
