Deutsche Telekom will upgrade their NB-IoT platform in order to proactively increase the capacity and make it more scalable and robust for the future. Doing this, we benefit from better feature set (like using NB-IoT and LTE-M traffic through the same VPN tunnel) as well as security hardening.
The migration of our APN “cdp.iot.t-mobile.nl” to the new platform will be performed by the Deutsche Telekom Core Network team automatically. It does not require any activity from your side, so there is no need for new configuration of your IoT solution or anything alike.

Maintenance window:
May 10th, 2022 at 4:00 am CEST
May 17th, 2022 at 4:00 am CEST

Service Interruption:
There will be a service interruption for approx. 45 minutes during the night. The devices will lose the PDP connection and need to create a new IP session at the end of the maintenance window. After the new platform starts operation, the devices will re-login to the network automatically and will get a new IP address.

Experience from other customers:
This maintenance work was already performed for the customers located in Germany. We didn’t receive incident reports related to this change. That’s why we’re optimistic that it will run smoothly for the IoT Creators APN as well.

Please contact me/us in case you’ve got any questions or doubts and concerns.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are optimistic that you’ll benefit in the future from that change.
