# Network Connection Management

The network connection management module provides basic network management capabilities. You can obtain the default active data network or the list of all active data networks, enable or disable the airplane mode, and obtain network capability information.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
