Faster 4G mobile coverage takes over Taranaki

Taranaki residents and visitors can do more things in more places with their mobile devices, now that Spark has rolled out 4G across existing cell sites in the region.

4G technology allows customers to enjoy better access to Spark mobile coverage, making it even easier for people to share, upload, download and stream content such as YouTube videos, Spotify and sport, faster and more reliably than ever before.

General Manager of Networks for Spark, Colin Brown says the vastly improved mobile network will allow locals and visitors to the area to stay constantly connected with family, friends and colleagues.

“We’re always looking to improve access to mobile coverage across New Zealand and we’re excited that Taranaki is now able to access the benefits of 4G. Taranaki is home to great surf, awesome events in the city of New Plymouth, and countless outdoor activities and now customers will be able to share it all via their mobile phones faster than ever before” said Mr Brown.

Spark’s 4G coverage across rural Taranaki utilises the 700MHz radio spectrum, which means customers who have previously experienced slow internet speeds on a fixed line may now be able to sign up to Spark’s Rural Wireless Broadband service.

“4G on the 700MHz spectrum is ideal for the rural and agribusiness sector which is vital to Taranaki, as the signal can travel further from the cell site than other frequencies. Our Rural Wireless Broadband product uses the 4G mobile network and allows customers fast, reliable and affordable internet access. This is key for people who currently lack access to an adequate fixed internet service” said Mr Brown.
