One NZ is keeping the momentum going in its mission to build a better-connected Aotearoa. In September, work has completed on 22 mobile sites across the country — including 4 new builds (2 of them with 5G coverage) and 18 existing sites that have been upgraded to expand 5G coverage.
That brings the year-to-date digital infrastructure total to 206 new and upgraded mobile sites, with 155 of those now equipped with 5G — giving more One NZ customers more access to fast, stable, and reliable mobile connections.
To help identify where improvements are needed most, customers can use One Pin, to ‘drop a pin’ in areas where they experience dropped calls, slow speeds, or no connectivity. The more pins dropped in a location, the higher the priority for upgrades.

This investment in mobile sites is on top of One NZ Satellite TXT. Customers on eligible plans and devices can send texts, and now MMS (photos, videos and voice notes*) — from anywhere in NZ with a clear view of the sky. Whether it’s on the farm, out on the water, or up in the hills, staying connected is easier than ever.
