Mark Beder: Spark New Zealand customer director for enterprise and government explains private 5G warehouse project - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Some complex airline problems might be solved with another type of aircraft now operating in an Auckland warehouse.

Air New Zealand has teamed up with Spark, Ericsson and Canadian firm Cypher Robotics to deploy a robot-tethered drone.

The airline and the telco said they worked together to create New Zealand’s first private 5G network for business.

Mark Beder, Spark New Zealand customer director for enterprise and government, says the size and height of the warehouse has presented challenges.

"It's about how they can do this more efficiently and more effectively over time."
