The NZFS requires a supplier with extensive expertise and specialisation in satellite services for the distribution of text based paging to replace and enhance its soon to be obsolete Sky based service.
Currently NZFS is using a Sky based satellite service to provide pager message distribution to 83 locations throughout NZ. These messages are then passed to a local low power paging transmitter and broadcast around the local area.
These stations are currently at locations where Spark does not have sufficient coverage to provide an effective turn out from its national paging network. With the loss of the current Spark paging network it is likely that there will be additional sites that will be converted to infill paging and also be triggered from satellite so it is likely the that number of locations will increase
