Troubleshooting and repairs relating to the disruptions in UEF’s data connections continued throughout last weekend in collaboration between the equipment supplier and UEF’s own experts. Following these repairs, monitoring and testing carried out early this week now indicate that data connections are working better, and no new disruptions have occurred.

Network connections can be used normally. The situation is still being monitored closely, and the replacement of the firewall service and old equipment by new one will proceed as communicated earlier.

To secure access to the internet during events that are deemed critically important, back-up connections will continue to be made available through mobile access points that use 4G mobile phone networks. To determine and assess the need for a back-up connection for your event, please contact Servicedesk.
