2 Thuraya IP Voyager User Guide
Quick Reference
This section serves as a reference guide, identifying the key operational
aspects of using the Thuraya IP Voyager system and the Controls and
Indicators on the Thuraya IP Voyager and their functions.
Global Positioning System Operation
The Thuraya IP Voyager contains an integrated Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver that is used to provide location information. GPS
location information is required for system access, and the reception of
a new GPS location is attempted automatically every time Thuraya IP
Voyager is powered on. The GPS receiver is located in the antenna,
otherwise known as the Above Deck Unit (ADU). It is updated
automatically during operation provided the ADU is able to receive the
GPS signal.

The terminal BDU has an Integrated Status Display
which allows you to view the operational status of
