Who we are

For almost two decades, we’ve been building networks and serving underserved communities - growing from a small group of rural innovators into New Zealand’s largest independent wireless provider with over 8000 rural customers.

That same drive to close the connectivity gap now powers the business networks, enterprise WANs, and wholesale solutions that keep companies of every size working without interruption.

From families living rural to SMBs, corporates, and retirement villages, our fibre and wireless networks provide fast, reliable internet, crystal-clear voice, and enterprise-grade solutions that enable growth, safeguard data, and connect people wherever they are.

At Lightwire, we measure our impact not just in connectivity, but in the confidence, opportunities, and human connections we empower every day - delivered with the assurance of award-winning service and support you can trust.

140+ local schools, events, and not for profits supported by Lightwire every month.
