Nokia Partners with Transpower to Secure New Zealand's National Grid

Transpower, New Zealand's national grid operator, plays a crucial role in supplying hydroelectric power to major population centers. The company's communications network, TransGO, acts as the nervous system behind the grid's operations. Without it, grid operators would be 'working blind,' lacking real-time visibility of equipment, generation, and load.

Transpower sees itself as the 'Kaitiaki of the national grid,' carrying a sense of responsibility to secure a reliable, affordable, and sustainable future for its five million New Zealanders. The company's mission is not just about maintaining infrastructure but also about ensuring the well-being of its citizens.

Nokia, a long-time technology partner to Transpower, has been helping to refresh TransGO to ensure that the national grid can keep powering New Zealand's digital economy. The partnership aims to provide IP networking technology and understand the complexities of Transpower's environment to keep the lights on and the economy moving.
