Glad to see a brand spanking new tower go up on the hill up behind the NIG nutrition factory.

 

Always been a low coverage hotspot. Nothing showing up on GIS geek thus unsure if RCG or specific to a provider. Photos to come soon

They (OneNZ) are also building one on the road between Waiuku and Pukekohe (on Tramway Road, Puni).  Will fix that coverage black spot too!

Yes Puni straights would be good to get sorted. Spark dont seem to be doing much out that way.

Looks like it has 700/900/1800/2100/2600 frequencies. Hopefully the 900 and 2100 are re-farmed 4G already! https://gisgeek.app/nz/location/celltowers/ovgbaenx/onenz/paerata-a8pea

One NZ must be on the build path as they have recently just built one in Mangatawhiri.
