Remain open for business

Set up a remote site quickly or keep remote sites open during outages

Peace of mind for you, employees, and customers

The process is quite simple and straightforward.  Alongside your Fibre connection our own technicians will conduct a site survey to determine the best location for our equipment.  Ideally, this location is protected, yet accessible if needed, and has the best signal availability.  From there, the equipment is installed and plugged into a router that is configured to handle the failover.

So, if the fibre connection goes down, the wireless connection comes up on an as-needed basis.

And, if your fibre installation is delayed for any reason we can get you up and running over the wireless connection faster!

*Subject to signal testing and Primo’s wireless coverage area.  Install costs are based on line of sight to our current towers and additional setup costs may occur if a pole, or extra cable, etc is needed to raise the antenna to achieve line of sight.

The Percussive Problem Solver.

He’s a man of many parts, having been a barber for 10 years after leaving New Plymouth Boys High.

He’s also had a stint in the music retail sector which is handy as he’s also a drummer – his current band, Gatekeepers, has an album out.

After a stint across the ditch cut short by the pandemic, he’s glad to be home in New Plymouth and helping out anyone calling Primo’s help desk. And in his spare time, he notches up some quality time with computer gaming.
