We're stoked to reveal the new network map graphic for KAREN. This graphic includes links currently under development that will extend the reach of KAREN.

Extending the reach of KAREN

Progress is well underway to expand KAREN's footprint across the country through the creation of new PoPs (Points of Presence) and regional spurs, which will allow more organisations to join this high-speed, unconstrained network.

Most of the dotted lines should turn solid around the middle of the year as the investments in connecting more ITPs are worked through. Development work will grow the number of PoPs from 16 to 23 by June this year, and will extend our reach to Whangarei and Invercargill. (The 1Gbps connectivity to Warkworth and Tekapo is imminent).
