Radio, tracking and connectivity
fitted and kept running
Two-way radio, push-to-talk over cellular, GPS and fleet tracking, vehicle Wi-Fi and radio hire — specified, licensed, installed, maintained and repaired by our own engineers. One supplier for the whole life of the system, not just the day it is sold.
On the road
Our own engineers, our own vehicles, out of Christchurch and Auckland. We specify the system, install it, and keep it running for as long as you have it.
What we do
Business communications and connectivity
We keep you connected, know your fleet, know your sites, one number to call.
Push-to-talk over cellular
Instant voice anywhere there is 4G, with no repeaters to build and no coverage map to design around. We built the first PoC network in New Zealand and still run the largest.
Explore PoC →Two-way radio
DMR and analogue systems designed, licensed and built for sites and fleets that cannot depend on a cellular network. Simplex, repeater and multi-site.
Explore LMR →GPS and fleet tracking
Live location, driver behaviour, utilisation reporting and electronic road user charges. Professional fleet telematics at a cost a private business can justify.
Explore tracking →Vehicle Wi-Fi
One connection for the whole cab, fed by a high-gain antenna on the outside of the vehicle. Phones, tablets, laptops and trackers on one link instead of four.
Explore vehicle Wi-Fi →Radio hire
A fleet of 300-plus radios for events, shutdowns and projects. Programmed, charged and tested before it ships, anywhere in the country, with no minimum hire.
Explore hire →Radio service
Installation, network maintenance, remote monitoring and in-house equipment repairs — across everything we fit, and most of what we did not.

Top of market solutions, delivered for the mid-market
Much of what we sell was proven first in emergency services and large logistics operators, where the consequences justified overbuilding everything and the price reflected it.
Very little of that has to be reinvented for a contracting business, a transport operator or a council depot. It has to be scaled to a price those organisations can actually sign off. So we keep the parts that make the difference and drop the parts that only add cost.
Not everyone needs the platinum standard, and we will tell you when you do not.
- Tiered on purpose. Real options, giving solutions at every budget level.
- Full capability. We have solutions across communications and connectivity and can install even more.
- PoC from $17 a radio a month — instant voice nationwide, with no network of your own to build.
- Fleet tracking from $15 a vehicle a month — professional telematics without an enterprise agreement.
- Vehicle Wi-Fi from $29 a month — one connection for the cab instead of three or four.
Why businesses choose Signals
We care, we turn up and we keep turning up
Communications equipment is not hard to buy. What is hard to buy is a supplier who is still answering the phone in year four.
Our engineers are Signals staff, working out of Christchurch and Auckland and travelling nationwide. The people who fit a system are the people who come back to it. The difference between a system still doing its job in five years and one that quietly fell out of use is almost always support, not hardware.
Installation
Vehicles, sites and control rooms, fitted by our own team in one booking rather than three contractors.
Installation →Maintenance
Networks, repeaters, antennas and on-site hardware kept working, on contract or when you need us.
Maintenance →Monitoring
Eyes on the network so faults are found before your people find them — and can be retrofitted to older gear.
Monitoring →Equipment repairs
Repaired in house with quick turnarounds, for customers nationwide and across most brands.

The original push-to-talk over cellular network in New Zealand
We built it in 2018 and have run it continuously since. Everything else in this category arrived afterwards.
Built in 2018
The first PoC network in the country, deployed continuously ever since. Seven years of knowing what actually goes wrong and how to fix it.
3,500 devices
By a wide margin the biggest PoC fleet in New Zealand. More radios, more users, and more hard-won experience behind the advice.
Kirisun distributor
Exclusive New Zealand distributor, working directly with the manufacturer. No middle layer between you and the people who make the radios.
Nine-plus models
Handhelds, in-vehicle mobiles, a body-worn camera and a phone-style unit — rather than a choice of two and a compromise.
What we supply
The brands behind it
Kirisun is our primary radio brand and we are its exclusive New Zealand distributor. Everything else is chosen for the job rather than for a supplier agreement.
