Planned System Activity: Thuraya Network System Notification

Please note that this activity is being held to implement the new frequency slot for the highlighted regions within Thuraya 2 and Thuraya 3 coverage. During the activity, there is a possi­bility that services could be inter­rupted for up to 10 minutes (under each satellite) due to frequency change. Thuraya’s terminals have the capability to recover automat­i­cally. However, if they continue to Search for Network or remain on Acquiring status, a power restart is needed. This will help maintain an optimum quality of Thuraya voice and packet services. The two-hour activity window includes imple­men­tation, testing and monitoring.

Service Impact: Potential inter­ruption of voice and packet services for up to 10 minutes (under each satellite), due to new frequency slot allocation for the highlighted regions.

Kindly see the below timings and involved spot beams highlighted for your reference for download at the bottom of this alert.
