Apparently when the tablets first connect to the BB over wifi, everything is fine, the application works. But if they move too far away from the BB, the tablets automatically switch over to the corporate wifi, which has a stronger signal than the BB, and they don't switch back. Once it switches to the corporate wifi, they lose access to the BB, and their custom application no longer works.
