Understanding Satellite Data Usage with the SatBridge App
• You may be using data when you are connected to the Thuraya SatBridge Wi-Fi and
Thuraya SatBridge is connected to Satellite network.
• Local users on the Thuraya SatBridge Wi-Fi do not use satellite data except for logging in
to the app.
• Only Satellite Users, Administrators, and Owners can use satellite data.
• Non-SatBridge apps (such as Facebook, Instagram, Browser) on mobile devices of users
with Satellite User, Administrator, and Owner account types can access satellite data if
background refresh is enabled.
• When connected to satellite data, users with Satellite User, Administrator, and Owner
account types can access satellite data on non-SatBridge Apps if background refresh is
enabled in apps—even if they sign out of the SatBridge App.
• Admin and Owners can view the satellite data usage of all users in near real time on
their SatBridge App.
