Update timeline
- investigating Sep 04, 2026, 12:00 PM UTC
We are currently observing an increase in signal loss events for some devices, caused by an intermittent connectivity issue in the cellular network layer. This is being investigated by our mobile network operators. As a result, some vehicle locations and statuses may be temporarily delayed via the Fleet Management portal and other interfaces. Lightfoot devices will retain their data and transmit this to our servers as soon as possible and no data will be lost. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

- resolved Sep 07, 2026, 09:36 AM UTC
Normal operation has been confirmed. This issue will be marked as closed but we will continue to monitor this closely whilst working with our third-party network provider to understand the root cause.
