Private 5G Networks
Empowering Aotearoa’s Enterprises with Intelligent, Secure Connectivity
Across Aotearoa, industries are evolving fast — from smart ports and precision agriculture to connected utilities and digital infrastructure. Behind this transformation is one essential ingredient: reliable, high-performance connectivity that enterprises can trust.
Why Private Networks?
Tū Ātea’s Private 5G networks give organisations total control of their digital backbone — combining speed, security, and sovereignty.
Unlike public mobile networks, private 5G delivers guaranteed performance, local governance, and end-to-end visibility for mission-critical operations.
Dedicated and secure – traffic never competes with public users
Ultra-low latency – real-time control for automation and safety
Data sovereignty – local data, local control, local resilience

Case Study: CentrePort Wellington
When connectivity is mission-critical, there’s no room for dropouts.
CentrePort — one of Aotearoa’s busiest logistics hubs — sits beside Wellington’s stadium and ferry terminal, where public networks often become congested. Tū Ātea deployed a dedicated 5G private network across the port, ensuring operations remain connected, even under peak load.
Outcomes:
Reliable, real-time telemetry for vehicles and assets
Safer, faster operations through low-latency communication
Wireless CCTV and IoT systems without costly cabling
Improved environmental and operational efficiency
Neutral Host Networks
Tū Ātea’s Neutral Host Networks are re-imagining how Aotearoa connects — delivering shared infrastructure that serves people, place, and purpose.
What is a Neutral Host Network?
A Neutral Host is a single, shared network that multiple mobile operators can use simultaneously. This model reduces duplication, expands coverage, and ensures that no community is left behind.
Who It Serves
Rural and Remote Communities
Shared infrastructure extends mobile coverage to hard-to-reach places — including marae and papakāinga — supporting equitable digital access where it’s needed most.
High-Density Venues
Airports, stadiums, and malls can host one shared indoor 5G system, simplifying operations and improving user experience for everyone.
Enterprises and Campuses
Large sites like hospitals or universities benefit from unified infrastructure that supports both private enterprise systems and public mobile access.

Case Study: Motairehe Marae, Aotea (Great Barrier Island)
For years, Ngāti Wai ki Aotea lived with limited connectivity — off-grid power, no mobile service, and unreliable Wi-Fi. Together with Aotea Energy, Tū Ātea installed an off-grid Neutral Host network, linking the marae and papakāinga homes with broadband and powering microgrid monitoring systems.
Now the community enjoys:
Real-time microgrid and energy monitoring
Reliable communication for safety and wellbeing
Seamless marae operations — from bookings to EFTPOS
Access to remote learning and work opportunities
Seamless wireless broadband connectivity
This pilot shows what’s possible when technology serves people.
