According to the Unity Documentation (expand the iOS section), the UI Requires Persistent WiFi option
"specifies whether the application requires a Wi-Fi connection. iOS maintains the active Wi-Fi connection open while the application is running."

It specifies the property list key --- UIRequiresPersistentWiFi --- in iOS info.plist.
UIRequiresPersistentWiFi (Boolean - iOS) specifies whether the app requires a Wi-Fi connection. iOS maintains the active Wi-Fi connection open while the app is running.
YES : iOS opens a Wi-Fi connection when this app is launched and keeps it open while the app is running. Use with Wi-Fi–based apps.
NO : (Default) iOS closes the active Wi-Fi connection after 30 minutes.
Note: If an iPad contains apps that use push notifications and subsequently goes to sleep, the device’s active WiFi connection automatically remains associated with the current access point if cellular service is unavailable or out of range.
