The signal strength is represented in different colours. When the S.A.P.A bar is:
RED, the terminal will not be able to register with the Satellite network.
YELLOW, the satellite signal is marginal and registration and service may not be available.
GREEN, the terminal will be able to register with the network to access voice or data services.
Tip on efficient operation:
Do not move the Thuraya WE when it has been positioned to receive the best signal
available.
CELLULAR MODE
Switch to Cellular mode. In cellular mode, the Thuraya WE allows the user to send SMS messages
and browse the web, if Data service in enabled in the Dashboard. SMS’s can be sent by different
smart devices simultaneously, however as only one SMS can be sent out at a time, newly written
SMS’s will be added to an outbound queue.
NOTE: SMS’s can be sent while Data services is active, all connected smart devices can browse the
Internet concurrently with the only limitation being the connection bandwidth.
