Useful Tips For Using IsatHub Data
• IsatHub must be setup with Pivotel APN before using data. Refer
to Pivotel Setup Guide to setup the APN.
• It is recommend that you turn off automatic updates on your
smart devices before using IsatHub data. By switching this off,
App updates will no longer download and install automatically as
your device will recognise the IsatHub as a Wi-Fi connection.
– For Android, go to Google Play on your smart device > Settings > Auto-update apps > ‘Do Not auto-update apps’.
– For iOS, go to Settings on your smart device > iTunes & App
Store > Updates > Slide the toggle left to turn off.
• Use the Pivotel PULSAR™ platform to monitor and control your
data usage. Set data limits and set SMS* and/or email alerts to
notify you if the data usage has reached the limits.
*SMS charges apply as per your satellite rate plan.
