JAKARTA - One New Zealand, formerly known as Vodafone NZ, announced on Monday April 3 that it had signed an agreement with Elon Musk, the SpaceX owner to use the American company's Starlink satellite to provide 100% cellular coverage across New Zealand by the end of 2024.
This technology will initially be used for text and multimedia messaging services. But it will later be extended to voice and data services in areas of New Zealand that are currently unconnected. This was revealed by One New Zealand in a statement, quoted by Reuters.
The One New Zealand mobile network currently includes 98% of New Zealanders' residences and workplaces, but currently only covers 50% of the country's land area.
"When this service launches, there will be coverage across the country, whether you're on a boat, climbing a mountain, repairing remote roads, or on your farm," said One New Zealand CEO Jason Paris.
The two companies have not released financial details regarding the deal.
SpaceX and Starlink have collaborated with several countries, including the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany, to provide internet access via the Starlink satellite network.
The project they are doing is providing broadband internet access to areas that are difficult to reach or not served by cellular networks or cables.
In addition, they also collaborated with space agencies and research agencies to carry out space missions and develop space technology.
