Navigating the 3G Network Sunset with Blackhawk.io
In the ever-changing tech landscape, New Zealand is leading the charge in digital transformation. As Spark and One NZ retire the aging 3G network, embracing 4G, 5G, and LPWAN, the future looks promising. However, for telematics and GPS tracking solutions, this shift poses challenges.
Step 1: Understanding The 3G Network Sunset
The once groundbreaking 3G network is set to retire, led by Spark and Vodafone. While there’s no set date, One NZ, Spark, and 2degrees have outlined late 2024 and 2025 for the transition.
Step 2: Impact on Telematics and GPS Tracking
A significant consequence is the obsolescence of older 3G telematics devices, crucial for fleet management. This shift could leave businesses without a vital component in their ecosystem.
