UBC offers a secure wireless network that can be accessed by compatible WiFi-enabled Symbian devices. For best results, it is recommended to only use these devices on the secure network ('ubcsecure') and not on the non-secure network ('ubc'). Also, while this procedure is for Symbian Series 60 devices, similar steps can be taken on other Symbian devices.
Note: UBC IT does not provide support for Symbian setup/installation. This document is provided as general reference only and is not confirmed to be working for all Symbian devices.
