Yesterday Inmarsat I4 Network on the Asia-Pacific region had an unsche­duled network outage. Please find further infor­mation below regarding the reason for outage.

On the 8th November at 10:02UTC BGAN and IDP services experi­enced an outage in the APAC region. The initial inves­ti­gation identified that the planned ISP maintenance activity of a 3rd party to move traffic to a secondary path failed.

An inves­ti­gation was immediately initiated to locate and fix the issue. At 10:27UTC the BGAN traffic in the APAC region was moved from Warkworth SAS to Paumalu SAS.

IDP recovery proce­dures were initiated and successfully completed at 11:16 UTC when full IDP APAC function­ality was restored.

An inves­ti­gation is underway to identify why the traffic failed to move to the secondary path.
