Mobile Broadband

Mobile Broadband has arrived - and it will revolutionise the way you do business

What is Mobile Broadband?

Mobile Broadband is the fastest mobile data network available in New Zealand with download speeds up to 15 times faster than the rest of our 027 network (which is already faster than any one else's network). With Mobile Broadband you'll be able to experience speeds you never thought possible.

What are the benefits?

Mobile Broadband makes remote working work for you. It means you can work more effectively when you are out of the office, with the kind of download speeds you're used to at work - or even faster. With Mobile Broadband you'll be able to: 

  • Clear your emails faster - check, read and reply to your emails at speeds similar to those you are used to at work - or faster, so you can beat the backlog.
  • Stay on top of your work - securely access your internal office LAN or network, at speeds you've never dreamed possible.
  • Keep informed - receive the latest business updates from the Internet, or download your latest sales information at unprecedented speeds.
  • Empower your mobile sales and service teams - so they can work more efficiently and effectively.
  • Surf the web - When work's over you can use your Mobile Broadband connection to surf the web, check your personal web-based email and download multimedia content at broadband speeds.

How fast is it?

Our Mobile Broadband network will deliver average download speeds of around 300 - 500Kbps, with a huge maximum of 2Mbps. This is easily fast enough to stream video and will give you access to your email and company network with the kind of download speeds you're used to in the office - or maybe even faster!

Your Mobile Broadband data card or mobile will automatically switch between data downloading speeds when it moves from a Mobile Broadband area (every main town and city in New Zealand), to any other area within our extensive 027 coverage area, giving you an uninterrupted service. No need for different devices or to reconnect. 

Please note: Data download speeds will vary with conditions, including the number of users on the network, applications used, location and movement of the device and local radio propagation conditions. 300 - 500Kbps speeds are only possible in those areas with Mobile Broadband's high speed coverage.
  
How much does it cost?

There are two key costs involved with our Mobile Broadband service (not including the costs of any specialised solution you may require).

Hardware: To use Mobile Broadband on your laptop or handheld PDA you will need a Mobile Broadband capable mobile phone and data cable, or a Mobile Broadband data card.

Dataplan costs: Once you have your hardware you will need to be on a Mobile Broadband data plan. Check out our range of Mobile Broadband data plans or use our Data Plan Calculator to see which one might be best for you.
