Our 5G network is available in multiple locations across New Zealand. You’ll automatically switch to the fastest speed when in a 5G area if you have a 5G mobile phone or device and 5G enabled plan.

We use smart technology in our cell towers, making our mobile network more efficient. For example, in low use periods, like very early in the morning, our system can power down parts of the network to save energy. And then when someone goes to make a call or use data, the network quickly turns itself back on. This smart technology gives our network resilience, keeps it being reliable and it is ultimately better for the environment.

Remember that our Satellite to Mobile service adds to our mobile cell towers to give you coverage outside areas with traditional cell coverage. This significantly enhances our network capability and availability. We've started with a Text service, with more to come.
