Please note that this activity is part of Thuraya’s ongoing efforts to upgrade their services and ensure stable and reliable network performance at all times. It involves upgrading the current Packet Core Network. As a result, all packet services delivered via Thuraya‑3 including broadband packet services using APN such as Standard-VBR, Streaming-CBR, MARBB, THURAYAIPM2M and customized broadband APN and narrowband packet ThurayaGmPRS, will potentially be interrupted for approximately 60 minutes. The activity window covers pre-migration, actual migration, post migration and system monitoring. we and Thuraya highly recommend to power cycle (restart/reboot) the device of the customer after this activity to ensure continuous network connectivity.
Rest assured, active connections of all circuit switch services including Telephony, SMS, and Circuit Switch Data (CSD) will not be affected. Any inconvenience caused by this activity is regretted.
