AUCKLAND, New Zealand, September 10, 2020 /PRNewsire=KYODO JBN/--

Dense Air is pleased to have selected Kordia for the provision of its Network Operations

Centre in New Zealand, together with logistics and field engineering support.

Dense Air offers densification and network extension solutions, designed to

complement Mobile Network Operators and enable Private Networks, Critical

Communications and IoT connectivity. Dense Air's targeted small cell solution

economically provides additional network capacity and eliminates both indoor

and outdoor coverage "not" spots, typically on a neutral host basis. Dense Air's 4G

radio infrastructure operates in 70 MHz of 2.6 GHz spectrum and soon also 5G.

Operational excellence is a key element of Dense Air's service; required to

retain the trust of its operator customers and to carefully and securely manage

their users which are carried on its network.  Kordia has extensive operational

experience and already provides network infrastructure, services and support to

the major telecommunications and broadcast operators in New Zealand.

Dense Air has integrated its production environment with Kordia's 24x7x365

Network Operations Centre in Wellington and has contracted for the

implementation of monitoring, incident management, performance reporting and

automated KPI dashboards into Kordia's existing systems and processes. In

addition, Kordia has logistics and material handling capability integrated with

its engineering field force that will support the installation and

commissioning of Dense Air small cells.

Graham Currier, Dense Air New Zealand COO said "After nine months of detailed

process definition and system integration we have launched our commercial

network operations.  Kordia has demonstrated they can fully support our unique

service propositions and are capable of delivering the 'Tier 1' support

framework our business and our customers require."

Glen White, General Manager of Kordia Solutions New Zealand said, "Kordia has a

long track record of supporting customers with their telecommunications

solutions, from build to network support, and we're excited to be working with

Dense Air to enable their network densification offering. We know through our

experience in In-building Coverage that there's demand from New Zealand

businesses in this space, and it's excellent to see Dense Air bringing a

solution to market.  We're pleased that Dense Air have trusted our operations

and field support capabilities as the safe pair of hands to help them deliver

the support that their customers require."
