Preparing for 5G in New Zealand
New Zealand''s 3 mobile network operators (MNOs) each receiving 80 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5GHz band. This is sufficient radio spectrum for all three MNOs to operate nation-wide 5G
Across NZ in February, One NZ has upgraded or built a total of 16 sites throughout the motu, with 12 of those providing new 5G coverage to areas and a further 4 providing capacity improvement. The Waikato has 4 new sites, with 5G coverage now provided in Gordonton, Taupiri, Ngaruawahia, and Chartwell Square.
The details of this agreement include: New Zealand's 3 mobile network operators (MNOs) each receiving 80 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5GHz band. This is sufficient radio spectrum for all three MNOs to operate nation-wide 5G networks.
. . One NZ and T-Mobile ramp up 5G infrastructure, enhancing network access across Aotearoa with newly activated cell towers. One NZ, formerly Vodafone NZ, has announced that they have installed 17 new cell sites across Aotearoa.
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.
