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.

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.
