New Zealand’s leading independent digital infrastructure partner
We build and manage the mobile network – the digital motorway – to enable telecommunications companies to deliver advanced connectivity and transformative technologies to everyone across the motu.
With over 1,600 sites, we’re laying the foundations for the digital future Aotearoa New Zealand wants and deserves by building the next phase of passive infrastructure and innovating on our extensive portfolio of locations.
We’re supporting our customers to amplify reach and increase capacity quickly and efficiently, and partnering with our landowners to bring the best opportunities to connect, to explore the digital world, and to expand what’s possible.
From here to everywhere, we connect
Being connected matters now more than ever. Many would say digital connectivity is as critical as electricity and running water. At the very least, from Aotearoa New Zealand’s point on the map, it’s our passport to the world and our greatest asset of possibility. The amount of data we use here in Aotearoa doubles nearly every year, and virtually anything imaginable is available online. The continued explosion of connectivity and appetite for data has led to a rapidly shifting landscape of digital transformation.
That’s why we’re focused on supporting the next generation of telecommunications providers to get their networks to market, at speed. How do we achieve speed to market? Being truly independent and unencumbered means we can act quickly, operate transparently and be a really great partner. Being neutral allows us to share data and information openly, providing more choice and control to plan network needs.
Independence ensures that we’re proactive. We’re always one step ahead, anticipating, predicting, and planning where the right locations are to keep up with demand – ensuring we achieve the right infrastructure in the right location. We are the strategic link that helps our customers find new ways to deliver on a new shared infrastructure future.
From here, we create the infrastructure the future requires
Our purpose lies in building the foundations to enable new generations of technology. One example of this today is the Internet of Things (IoT) – the mass connection of things like devices, sensors and machines via mobile networks. Once ubiquitous, 5G will allow for one million devices to be connected per square kilometre on a continual basis, providing the platform for smarter, more efficient cities, homes and businesses.
Research shows IoT applications can improve quality of life significantly by saving us time, improving health and safety outcomes, reducing environmental impact and boosting social connectedness and participation.
We know that profound advances in technology are driving demand for continuous connectivity and coverage. Throughout metropolitan and regional areas, we are building, developing and maintaining the infrastructure required to meet this demand and facilitate connection for us all. As our footprint grows, we will continue to invest significant resources into securing sites, and modernising and maintaining shared infrastructure to support exciting future generations of technology.
From here, we make partnerships a priority
Every relationship we foster is for the long term. Together with landowners, community groups and local government, we’re focused on delivering the best outcomes through our proactive and considered approach.
Collaboration, independent thinking and our operational capabilities allow us to secure the right sites, deploy infrastructure and serve the needs of our customers and communities. Every step of the way, together with our partners, we’re enabling our customers to deliver a new era of connectivity that transforms how New Zealanders live, work and play.
From here, to everywhere, we are Fortysouth
The name Fortysouth represents the place from where New Zealanders can circle the globe, a place that is solid, grounded and independent. A place for each of us to find our centre from which to share knowledge and orientate to the world abound. That’s a pretty good description of who we are, and what we do here at Fortysouth too.
