    Why can't my Thuraya IP+ Modem find GPS location?
    • K
      Kristin HarrisAug 25, 2025
      If your Thuraya IP+ Modem cannot locate itself using GPS, it might be because of a weak or blocked signal. Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the GPS antenna and that the modem has a clear view of most of the sky. Also, avoid placing your hand or any object over the main antenna. It can take up to 5 minutes to determine the GPS position, so wait, or try switching the modem off and on again. If you are using an external GPS antenna, make sure it has a clear view of the sky.
