About Us
Our Story
We are a non-commercial group of telecommunications, management & IT professionals, concerned with the state of NZ’s rural connectivity. We are aware of issues with usability, affordability (in some cases), and network resilience, especially with the more regular occurrence of extreme weather events.
While we live and work in rural NZ, we are not farmers, but work from home, alongside our farmers and rural industries (dairy, beef, lamb, marine, construction, and even IT/wireless services). We provide one-to-one technology support to many in our local and the wider rural and regional NZ communities (people from all walks of life) to help ensure they all get the best value and use from solutions and the many choices available.
- Live rurally
- Technical knowledge
- Need reliable internet
- Non-commercial
