Android Management: New Wi-Fi Profile Now with WPA3 and Extended Configuration Options 

January 11, 2024

The new Android Wi-Fi profile configuration in Cortado MDM is based on the familiar Wi-Fi settings on the devices, supports the current WPA3 security protocols and includes advanced configurations from Android 13. 

After introducing some important new Android guidelines for managing Wi-Fi settings back in October, we have now completely renewed the Wi-Fi profile for Android devices. The new Wi-Fi profile configuration in Cortado MDM is completely aligned with the settings that users are familiar with on their end devices. 

Support for WPA3 security protocols 

The new Wi-Fi profile supports the current WPA3 Personal and Enterprise security protocols as well as the WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit standard for highly secure connections, which has been available since Android 11.

The WPA3 security protocols are now available in the Wi-Fi profile configuration for Android devices. 

Advanced configurations from Android 13 

At the same time, we are providing new features for devices with Android 13 or higher. All new Wi-Fi profiles can now be supplemented with proxy, MAC and IP settings.
