New broadband connections go live in Te Hiku

12 February 2025

Tourists and residents in Taipā and Te-Oneroa-a-Tōhē Ninety Mile Beach may have noticed a marked improvement in their connectivity, after new mobile broadband towers were switched on in both areas in January.

The new mobile broadband tower in Taipā is now providing upgraded broadband capacity to 56 end users, as well as coverage to 43 homes and businesses in the area. While the new tower in Te-Oneroa-a-Tōhē Ninety Mile Beach will enable tourists to connect with local activities and accommodation providers.

Another major plus for people local to those areas is improved connectivity to the emergency 111 network no matter which mobile network they subscribe to, should an emergency occur.

Both towers were built by the Rural Connectivity Group (RCG) under the government’s Rural Connectivity Programme. The towers went live on 20 January after the collaboration with RCG, National Infrastructure Funding and Financing, and Far North District Council.
