In NZ 5G has already been launched by Spark and Vodafone in limited locations, with further rollout planned in the near future. Spark initially trialled 5G wireless in Alexandra, and then extended 5G to parts of Westport, Twizel, Tekapo, Hokitika and Clyde.
Major operators such as One NZ (formerly Vodafone), Spark, and 2degrees provide stable 4G and 5G coverage for the majority of the population. In urban areas such as Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, users can expect reliable connectivity and high-speed internet. Providers are actively expanding their 5G networks.
New Zealand mobile networks show a strong desire to develop 5G technologies, as each of them covers a huge part of the territory. They provide residents and tourists with high-quality communication and data transfer speeds.
The initial roll out of 5G in NZ will use frequencies in the same range as 4G. In the future, the network will use a higher frequency (lower wavelength waves) – known as millimetre waves. These are closer in frequency to those used for satellite communications and some vehicle radars.
