Fast customised telecommunications solutions from New Zealand

Telecoms companies win success by responding quickly to changing technology and rising demand for customised products and services.

New Zealand’s telecommunications services industry delivers the fast response times which enable global telcos to stay ahead of the technology curve. Our industry is lean, flexible and dynamic - that adds up to customised solutions at a cost-competitive price.

We deliver solutions in faster-than-average time-frames because we operate in an ideal testing environment. This includes:

• New Zealand’s excellent telecommunications infrastructure has 100% digital exchange networks, and high-capacity fibre-optic communications links into Asia and the United States.
• Our infrastructure incorporates the four main wireless networks.
• New Zealand’s time-zone means testing can often be done during the European and United States night. The net result is faster delivery and less disruption to system users.
• Our demographics create a small but well-defined test market, and a population with demonstrated enthusiasm to adopt new technology.

Small teams, specialist skills, rapid market need identification and fast creation of applications are all hallmarks of our telecommunications companies.

New Zealand delivers commercial success

New Zealand ’s telecommunications services industry has proven excellence in several fields.

United States-based GeoVector Corporation chose New Zealand to develop its location-based services technology because of our leadership in wireless technology. New Zealand was an early adopter of wireless technology, so we have well-developed expertise at creating niche wireless applications. We demonstrate this experience through our ability to deliver industry-leading technology for tracking and positioning, and for call centres.

Shops throughout the world use our advanced point-of-sale electronic payment system products. Niche application developers have thoroughly tested new ideas for the banking network by utilising our advanced banking system and wireless industry.

New Zealand has the world’s highest per capita use of electronic transactions and a sophisticated payments network. These assets make us the perfect testing environment for new products.

Our strength in GPS technology has led to the creation of ground-breaking products for niche markets, such as marine and transport. For example, New Zealand’s leadership in GPS technology convinced global GPS giant Trimble to locate its main research and development arm here in New Zealand.
