New Zealand is on the verge of a major change this year as its 3G networks will be decommissioned. In the blink of an eye, August will arrive, and by the 31st of that month, One NZ will begin to shut down its 3G network. Time is ticking, and it’s crucial for businesses to start upgrading their devices and equipment across their fleets that rely on 3G. 

Transitioning to advanced connectivity like 4G means faster speeds, fewer inefficiencies and increased security, especially in rural areas. With 4G designed for efficient data transmission, as the bandwidth increase is over 10x its predecessor, it opens avenues for improving operational efficiency and resource management through real-time insights leading to data-driven decision-making.

Improved route planning, enhanced safety, streamlined maintenance and advanced network security are among the benefits of 4G. These networks enable the transmission of multiple channels of data, providing advanced telematics features essential for remote fleet management.

Adopting 4G-capable hardware is crucial for telematics users to avoid system issues. Once the 3G network begins to be converted into 4G/5G technologies, the transition from 3G requires a structured approach that starts with understanding your business’s requirements. Goals change as you go along, so ensuring your new technology can grow with you through the next decade is important.
