We’re monitoring number twos in remote DOC hut toilets
Together with DOC and Starlink, we’ve begun installing satellite-enabled sensors in remote hut toilets to monitor wastewater levels, remotely and in real time - helping reduce unnecessary trips, cut emissions, and save DOC up to $180,000 a year on some of New Zealand’s busiest tracks.

Coverage, where DOC’s never had it
Twos NZ Satellite, powered by Starlink, brings mobile coverage to the 40% of New Zealand with no traditional signal, much of it on Public Conservation Land.
With Twos NZ, DOC staff will now be able to access help, share information, receive weather updates and arrange supplies anywhere they can see the sky.

Tech that works for nature
From satellite-connected field tools to smart sensors, we’re piloting technology that will keep rangers safer, save time, and deliver better conservation outcomes.
Turning good ideas into lasting change
When DOC trials new tech with us and decides to keep it long-term, we put more investment back into conservation. It’s a cycle that keeps creating smarter tools — and more wins for nature.
