Nextel Data Network Outage Mar 13, 2006

Post by ATSupport »

There has been a Nextel data outage since yesterday or early morning today. So far this seems to be regional but in affected region, all data applications (including Nextel's "Download Apps") will have a communication error. AccuTracking software will show "Cannot connect" message on the screen.

We are still waiting for Nextel's response.

Update:

Nextel is aware of the outage and is working on it.

From our past experience (see the GPS outage in August 2004), it'll take days. :shock:

Sprint performs emergency maintenance only when necessary to eliminate
service impacting problems in the network. Due to the nature of these
risks, we must perform the maintenance with little or no time for
advanced customer notification. Typically, the interruption in service
caused by emergency maintenance impacts fewer customers than the
potential outage that might arise if the maintenance is not performed.
