The Ultimate broadband story
Check out our profile on the WISPA NZ website here
Ultimate Mobile Limited was started in 2009 by Michael & Joanne Smith to provide voice and mobile broadband coverage solutions to customers throughout NZ with a desire to then develop into other communications markets.
Michael had worked in the communications industry for over 11 years, mostly in the Telecom dealer channel working primarily with business and rural customers. After seeing the limited offerings and challenges to rural customers and the opportunity to do something about this, Michael started Ultimate mobile taking the experience he obtained through years in the industry.
The company started as many start ups do, however with a passion for the industry, Michael created a coverage equipment brand and set out to distribute throughout NZ Telco stores. Following the Feb 22 earthquake, 2011 saw a change of direction for Ultimate mobile, Michael & Joanne Smith bought out their business partners and took over the company so the original vision to provide more than just coverage solutions could be set in motion.
Now Ultimate mobile is very much focused on providing both rural & urban broadband solutions to customers throughout New Zealand. The creation of Ultimate broadband as a broadband ISP has seen the company grow rapidly in 2012 & 2013 with a significant base of rural customers enjoying its broadband services. Ultimate mobile has built on it's "customer service is key attitude" and is constantly going the extra mile to deliver a service where other larger less flexible ISP's or providers wont try or are not interested. This has allowed the company to add a great number of additional rural clients who otherwise would still have no decent internet service.
Ultimate broadband has developed local installation services for its own wireless services along with Rural broadband initiative RBI installer capability in the Canterbury, Waikato and Auckland regions with additional areas opening up soon. Through the experience gained with mobile broadband over the past few years Ultimate broadband has been able to provide rural broadband connections in locations throughout NZ often when other providers say it can't be done.
Ultimate broadband also manages its own Wireless broadband network, Ruralnet, through a series of hill top repeater sites and micro-sites in farming communities. This network has allowed Ultimate broadband the opportunity to really develop a great rural broadband service and exciting new services for rural customers.
Ultimate broadband also is Fibre reseller on the EA networks fibre networks and is currently in the final stages of launching its UFB fibre service on Enables network in the Christchurch area.
