We provide fully funded internet for all state and state-integrated schools and kura across Aotearoa.
Our faster, safer internet includes uncapped data – meaning schools can use as much as they need. We also provide a secure Wi-Fi connection throughout the kura. We design a network based on your school’s needs, actively manage the connection, and continue to develop new ways to make it safer and more secure. With reliable internet, teachers can focus on teaching, and ākonga can access more ways to learn.

Upgrade your school’s Wi-Fi

As part of the Ministry of Education’s Te Mana Tūhono programme, we’re working to upgrade school network equipment across Aotearoa to ensure a safer, more seamless Wi-Fi experience for ākonga. We’ll support you through each phase of the upgrade.

Equipment Support

 

We provide warranty support to ensure your switches and wireless equipment continue to run smoothly until your equipment can be replaced as part of the upgrade.

Equipment Replacement

  We work with you to design your school’s network, order the required equipment and then install the next-generation wireless technology.

Secure Access

  We ensure every user and device accessing your network is authorised to do so, making your school’s Wi-Fi more secure and giving you more control.

Satellite for Schools

In 2023 the Satellite for Schools programme provided Starlink technology to 40 eligible schools and kura that struggled with internet connection due to their remote locations.

The programme was funded by the Ministry of Education, and installed and connected by N4L and 2degrees. The technology connected schools to high-speed internet which enabled access to our fully funded safety and security services to help protect kaiako and ākonga online. Entry into the programme closed in 2023.

 

Customer stories

Bringing the world to our children

When this small rural school upgraded their Wi-Fi network, they were able to bring the world to the children and open up learning possibilities. Find out how we helped give them a safer and more seamless network. Watch Windwhistle School’s story here.

9 months without internet at home!

Not all students have access to the internet at home. With our help, students at a Bay of Plenty school were able to continue with learning at home during the COVID outbreak. Watch Te Akau ki Papamoa School’s story here.

Seamless connectivity for teachers & students

Students expect to have access to online content wherever they are in the school, but in a large College, it’s not always easy. Watch Long Bay College’s story here.
