Hey Simon,

Thanks for the details.

I tried with this on the simulator

WLANAPInfo obj = WLANInfo.getAPInfo();

System.out.println("Network Type" + WLANInfo.getAPInfo().getProfileName());

However i get a null value for obj

May be it will work on the actual device.

Currently on the simulator i see something like "1xev" , how do i get this value
