Currently emergency services are using a Spark’s National paging service to provide pager messages throughout NZ for alerting and notification of emergency response personnel. Spark have announced their intention to close this network at the end of June 2017. In February 2016, New Zealand Fire Service issued two Request For Tenders for satellite message distribution network to replace our current Sky TV service and a national paging replacement solution.
The satellite based message distribution contract has been won by Sea, Air and Land Communication Ltd (Salcom) based in Christchurch. Unfortunately we were unable to find an acceptable solution for the national paging replacement and the tender was duly closed. However, the satellite based system has created an opportunity that could be leveraged to provide a revised solutions for a paging network.
We now require a supplier with proven expertise and capability in network paging to provide a replacement for this service.
