The underlying purpose of REANNZ is to provide the National Research and Education Network (NREN) for Aotearoa. NRENs are specialised internet providers established in over 120 countries to help researchers and educators study, research and collaborate. Historically, this has been focussed on enabling the transfer of large data sets over fibre optic networks at high speeds. REANNZ sought feedback from our members about areas in which they needed more capability and one of the areas was to help them deliver a “consistent digital experience” wherever users are located, within Aotearoa and beyond.

The telecommunications industry has a number of emerging communications technologies that can be leveraged by researchers to access digital services, or transfer data from remote locations that have traditionally not been able to be connected to the REANNZ network. A proof of concept has been completed using 4G mobile broadband, but the capability has been designed to make use of any telecommunications technology that can provide a connection to the Internet. This includes satellite technologies, 5G mobile broadband and Internet of Things (IOT) focussed technologies such as LoRaWAN. Enabling secure digital communications from remote locations provides a tool for researchers to leverage for data collection, or access digital services in the field.
