Ngati Pahauwera Strategic Planning and Economic Development.
Wherever the people live.

Why so much planning
* If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
* If you don’t have a plan any road will get you there.
* If you don’t have a plan you will get caught up in other peoples plans.
* People who plan show they have a desire to have some control over their lives and the direction they take
* The big Questions are How are people going to benefit? and how will Ngati Pahauwera meet the future challenges?

An example of how Ngati Pahauwera can benefit from a relationship with Tuaropaki

* TCL is a communications company whose core business is satellite communications
* The focus is to facilitate broadband communications into rural communities and remote locations
* The company operates from Auckland and Taupo
* The signal is identical across New Zealand as long as the resident and/or business can see the sky
* The network is geared for power cuts and normal internet services will resume once power is restored.
* TCL has approximately 7 staff in Taupo and 2 staff in Auckland
* The government’s fibre network provides some opportunities for rural and remote communities however realities regarding geography, costs and time are likely to result in those areas not able to access broadband communications
* TCL are able to install a satellite within 2 – 3 weeks depending on the availability of an installer within the region.
* The network is largely secure and is equally if not more secure than other internet providers networks.
* Community hubs are able to be established with examples in both Whangara and Ruatahuna. This involves one satellite with wireless access for a number of houses to access.
* Community hubs require someone to maintain the network which in many cases would also be the installer.
* The company is responsible for the equipment if there is a fault and are required to replace due to high winds etc. within a certain time period.
* The network also has the capacity to use VOIP phones which is cheaper than using a telecom line. This is geared for emergency calling as required by regulation
* TCL is always looking to improve its network and discussions with Sky Television and 2 degrees are underway to see how satellite broadband can be integrated with some of their services and products.
* The cost for the satellite at the lowest end (basic package) is approximately $59.00 +GST per month as well as $350.00 for the installation fee. The basic package is faster than dial up
* TCL will work with Ngati Pahauwera on a 3 month trial project to test the usability of the TCL satellite broadband service.
* Warrick will work with Ngati Pahauwera on the project.
* The Trustees must decide with advice from the people where the trial site would best benefit Ngati Pahauwera
