Infor­mation of the Mainte­nance during Window Due to essential mainte­nance required on the connec­tivity between we and Iridium, our network engineers will need to restart the Certus network tunnels between we and Iridium. This will involve a brief loss of connec­tivity of up to five minutes while we failover over to the secondary tunnel, with a contin­gency of up to ten minutes loss of connec­tivity should there be issues with the failover process.

This action with be performed twice in order to fail back to the primary tunnel again.
