Service Incident on the Soracom Platform - Soracom Air for Cellular (planX3)
Updates
Summary
For a period of several hours, (from 2025-06-30 21:07 UTC to 2025-07-01 0:59 UTC), some Soracom IoT SIMs using Soracom PlanX3 experienced issues where cellular communication sessions either could not be established or became unreliable when attempting to connect to the network.
Affected Services
During this period, devices using the following subscriptions may have intermittently failed to establish cellular sessions:
- planX3
Cause
Soracom IoT SIMs using planX3 can connect to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). Connections to the Soracom platform via MNOs are facilitated by a network partner whose facilities also handle connectivity for other operators. The incident was triggered by a sudden traffic spike from another operator (not Soracom) that shares the same network partner.
Solution
Upon detecting abnormal connection patterns, Soracom immediately updated the Status Dashboard, began an internal investigation, and escalated the issue to the network partner supporting the affected connections.
The network partner resolved the issue by restricting traffic from the specific operator, allowing cellular communication sessions to be re-established.
Future Actions
We are committed to maximizing uptime for our customers, and we will continue to invest in improving the speed and accuracy of anomaly detection and partner communication.
We will continue to support our network partner by providing necessary information for investigation, requesting measures to prevent recurrence, and striving to improve the quality of our service delivery.
