Building a 4G futureHeading for life in the fast laneImagine doing more of what you love online, faster. 4G LTE is coming, and with it, a whole new way of using your mobile phone. From the day we launch, we want to deliver the best possible experience for all customers. So as a first step, we're trialling our 4G LTE network capabilities in Auckland and Wellington.
For the next few months, these trials will help us determine how the technology will work in New Zealand's unique environmental conditions, and to test real life speeds and experience. At this stage we can't promise where our 4G LTE coverage* will be, but we hope to make it available to as many customers as possible.

To ensure we deliver world-class service, we're continually monitoring our network and testing it with great results. We're also developing the device ecosystem for 4G LTE.
Evolving the Smartphone NetworkThe Smartphone Network has fast 3G and HSPA+ nationwide coverage. When we launch 4G LTE, we'll be bringing even faster speeds to some of our mobile customers*.
Our technologyLTE stands for "Long Term Evolution” and allows for greater speeds and better capacity*. After the release of 4G LTE, any areas without coverage will revert back to HSPA+. Our CDMA network is our old network and will no longer be available after July 2012.
Evolving the Smartphone NetworkOur Smartphone Network is designed to handle data, calls and text messages better than ever before. So it makes sense that the world's most popular Smartphones work brilliantly on the Smartphone Network.
Faster, more powerful and with a heap of features, Smartphones go way past simple calls and texts. You can get street-by-street directions across town, watch the latest videos or news, and get live updates from your friends on Facebook or Twitter.
Delivering world-class mobile coverage Currently our Smartphone network covers more than 97% of where New Zealanders work and play, which means you, can do more of the things you love, faster and in more places.
We're testing 4G LTE to work out how we can bring our new capabilities to as many people as possible. If, when we launch, you find out that 4G LTE coverage* isn't available in a certain area; you'll switch over seamlessly to our existing HSPA+ network.
Moving your business forwardWith the explosion of Smartphones and the increasing use of mobile data, the Smartphone Network is geared to meet your business needs.
4G LTE will keep on the pulse of your business, with faster access and our world-class global roaming capability options.
