为什么黑莓应用程序在没有 BIS 的情况下无法在北美以外的地方进行网络 i/o? [英] Why blackberry apps cannot do network i/o AT ALL outside of North America without BIS?

问题描述

一位顾问在 3 小时的讨论中告诉我，基本上黑莓第 3 方应用程序(是否通过 AppWorld 分发)不能在北美以外执行任何网络 I/O，除非成为联盟成员.这是真的吗?

I was told by a consultant in a 3 hours discussion that basically blackberry 3rd party apps (Distributed through AppWorld or not) cannot perform any network I/O outside of North America without becoming an alliance member. Is this true?

基本上，只有北美可以使用 APN 连接，而在世界其他任何地方，您都必须依靠 BIS 进行网络连接.通过 BIS 的网络连接只能连接到 RIM 提供的服务器.您必须成为联盟成员才能配置您的服务器.

Basically the story is that only North America can make use of APN connection, anywhere else in the world you have to rely on BIS for your network connection. And the network connection over BIS can only be made to a server that is provisioned by RIM. You will have to become and alliance member in order to have your server provisioned.

这对我来说听起来有点傻，因为如果我是第三方开发人员，我根本无法在北美以外的地方进行网络 io.这对 AppWorld 开发者来说是一个巨大的限制！

This sounds kinda silly to me, because if I am a third party developer I cannot do network io at all outside of NA. That's a huge limitation on the AppWorld developers!

我不是在谈论通过 Wifi 连接的网络套接字，只关心通过蜂窝网络的网络连接.

I'm not talking about a network socket over Wifi connection, only concerned with network connectivity over the cell network.

推荐答案

我认为您可能被误导了，或者可能解决了几个问题.

I think that you may have been misinformed, or perhaps munging a couple of issues.

您可以为许多运营商设置 APN:http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Connect-to-Internet-with-Your-BlackBerry-without-Paying-For-Data-Planhttp://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Carrier_specific_APN/TCP_settings

You can set up APN for many carriers: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Connect-to-Internet-with-Your-BlackBerry-without-Paying-For-Data-Plan http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Carrier_specific_APN/TCP_settings

这不是黑莓数据服务"，根据运营商的规定，这似乎有一些限制.但是，某些应用程序(上述链接中提到了 Verichat 和 Berry411)显然不限于 Blackberry 数据服务，因此我认为说所有第三方应用程序有点过分笼统.(也许顾问的意思是与 Exchange/BES 集成的第三方应用程序必须通过 BIS 链接?或者需要安全接口的应用程序?)

This is not "Blackberry Data Services", which do seem to have some restriction based on the carrier's provisioning. Some applications - Verichat and Berry411 are mentioned in the above links - are clearly not restricted to the Blackberry Data Services, though, so I think that would be a bit overgeneralized to say -all- third party applications. (Perhaps the consultant meant third party applications that integrate with Exchange/BES have to go over a BIS link? Or applications that require a secure interface?)

我还认为，说在北美以外"不太公平，因为至少在欧盟和印度显然已经在使用此类服务​​，在这些地区，各种供应商(O2、沃达丰)向实际客户销售黑莓.

I also think it's not quite fair to say "outside of North America," as such services are clearly in use in the EU and India, at least, where various providers (O2, Vodafone) sell Blackberrys to actual customers.

我已经好几年没用过黑莓了，但即使在我那个年代，黑莓数据和发送到互联网的 TCP 数据之间还是有区别的，Opera 是非黑莓连接的一个普遍例子.

I haven't used a Blackberry in several years, but even in my days there was a differentiation between Blackberry data and TCP data sent to the internet, with Opera being a ubiquitous example of a non-Blackberry connection.

在三位回答者中，我们似乎持怀疑态度，据我所知，我们中没有人能够找到任何证据来支持顾问的说法，并且确实找到了几个似乎表明问题至少是不完全理解.您是否考虑过通过电子邮件向顾问澄清?

Of the three answerers, we seem skeptical, and as far as I can tell none of us has been able to find anything to back up the consultant's claim, and indeed have found several counterpoints that seem to indicate the issue is at least incompletely understood. Have you considered asking the consultant via e-mail to clarify?
