During the upgrade, network equipment will restart to complete the installation. Users in affected areas may experience a brief loss of wired network connectivity, Wi‑Fi services, and VoIP telephone availability, typically lasting between 2 and 5 minutes.

This essential maintenance ensures network services remain secure, reliable, and fully supported with the latest vendor updates.
