Delivering a nationwide network isn’t easy. New Zealand’s diverse terrain means every tower, every connection, and every test matters.

Emergency services need a radio network they can trust—one that works in the toughest conditions. That’s why we’re building New Zealand’s Public Safety Network Land Mobile Radio network: a mission-critical system enabling frontline responders to keep communities safe when it matters most. 
 
This is about resilience, reliability, and protecting lives. 
 

The Public Safety Network (PSN) is a significant infrastructure project, investing $1.4 billion over 10 years to build and operate the networks and services, and roll out new devices to emergency services staff, stations and vehicles.

“Because Transmission Gully is a vital and fast route for first responders travelling to or from Wellington, and where emergencies can occur, secure and reliable radio coverage is essential,” says Senior Sergeant Kate Saxton of NZ Police.

While TSNZ is constructing a cutting-edge LMR network, the whistle serves as a poignant reminder: the essence of communication is clarity and reach.

Reliable power is fundamental for resilient communication. By using solar energy, sites can continue to operate during national disasters or wide-area power outages.

With the expertise of TSNZ’s engineers and technology partner, Broadtech, every site is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets its coverage expectations. 

Snow, wind, and rain can complicate the build process. However, TSNZ teams, equipped with PPE and the necessary skills, can work in rough weather, continuing operations while it is still safe to do so.
