How it all started...
PrimoWireless was established in 2006 to provide wireless broadband services to remote Taranaki communities. It now provides both wireless and ultrafast broadband services (UFB) to thousands of business and rural customers in Taranaki.
Initially PrimoWireless was developed as a solution to help rural Taranaki people and businesses who struggled to get access to fast broadband services. Knowing that wireless is the fastest broadband technology available to the rural community, IT specialist and managing director Matthew Harrison, set about building PrimoWireless' network from the ground up. As a result, PrimoWireless' customers are now enjoying the full benefits of connecting to Taranaki's only locally owned and operated Ultrafast wireless network.
Since incorporating the business in 2008 PrimoWireless has been growing rapidly which is down to our superior high speed broadband solutions, the high level of customer service we provide and the drive of the people behind the business.
