• Event: New Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Installation
• Schedule: June 08, 2025 (Sunday) | 12:00 PM – 06:00 PM (PHT)
• Activity Details:
Our systems engineering and administration team will be installing a New Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to replace the old UPS to avoid and mitigate the risk of power issues on our networking devices.
During the maintenance window, brief interruptions may occur as we replace the UPS units one at a time to minimize interruption and to ensure network and internet availability. Please note that users connected via Wired/LAN may experience temporary disruptions.
As a temporary alternative, we recommend connecting to #EmaptaExperience Wireless SSID to maintain internet access during the said activity.
For any additional support, please reach out to our Onsite Service Desk.

Hi Team,
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve service reliability and internet availability, our service provider will conduct intrusive testing on one of our site-to-datacenter circuits.
During the maintenance window, intermittent network interruptions may occur. However, due to the configuration of our network having backup circuits, we expect only a partial impact on internet and network connectivity as we have automatic failovers in place.
During the failover process, you may experience brief disruptions on any of the following below:
Choppy or Dropped VoIP Calls – Poor audio quality, delays, or dropped calls on platforms like Zoom, Teams, or Skype. Delayed Emails & Messages – Slower delivery of emails (Outlook, Gmail) and messages in chat apps like Slack and Teams. Latency Issues – Delays in response times, particularly for real-time applications. Remote Desktop (RDP) Disruptions – Lag, session timeouts, or disconnections when accessing remote systems.
