Intermittent Modem Outages, May 22nd - 31st

This update covers a nine-day period during which the cellular modem was largely online and functioning correctly.  But during this time there were repeated, brief outages.  These outages might be occurring in a pattern that could be repeated in the future, or might be illuminating to Docomo at some point down the line.

The dates and times described here are all in ChST, local Saipan time.  Times may be rounded to the nearest hour.  These, then, were the outages during this time:

• 3 hours, Wed May 22nd at 10pm until Thu May 23nd at 1am
• 1.5 hours, Thu May 23rd from 11:30am to 1pm
• 3 hours, Fri May 24th from 2am to 5am
• 3 hours, Sat May 25th from 2am to 5am
• 2 hours, Sun May 26th from 10am to noon
• 3 hours, Fri May 31st from midnight to 3am

Following this last outage the modem went offline for another prolonged period of time and required another "purge" from Docomo before coming back online (to be described in a future blog update).
