As an employee of the Treasury Board Secretariat, we are all outfitted with an iPhone. In situations where there may be limited access to a secured wireless connection, you can fallback on this iPhone feature to stay connected. Please ensure your work phone is charged at all times, and contact your manager to make alternative work arrangements if you cannot connect through a secured wireless connection or your iPhone hotspot.

 

Hotspot Best Practices
  • When not actively utilizing the internet connection, disconnect and turn the hotspot off on your iPhone.
  • If possible, leave your video off. Doing so will minimize data usage and latency in connectivity speeds of your personal hotspot.

 

To set this personal hotspot up, please see the video below:

And, just like that! Now, you should be able to continue browsing and navigating the web with your device on the hotspot!
