Coastguard is intricately linked to boaties through VHF radio networks supported by Kordia

These systems are not only critical to Coastguard’s entire operation but enable searfarers to communicate easily when they’re in trouble.

Kordia has been the ideal partner to support Coastguard’s communication operations and infrastructure, particularly as it evolved to better meet the needs of the seafaring community.

The Kordia team provides Coastguard with quality and fit-for-purpose solutions which draw on our deep experience in building critical communication networks and an understanding of Coastguard’s core objectives, such as improving service delivery to the recreational on-water community.

Kordia has enabled and supported Coastguard New Zealand's significant technological evolution, which included improving the quality of the VHF network through site infrastructure, monitoring and support. This long-term service delivery partnership has enabled our volunteers to better serve their communities and allow greater synergy with our partners at Maritime New Zealand.

Coastguard WAN – futureproofing the charity

Coastguard brought across its entire corporate network to Kordia, to take advantage of our complimentary expertise in cyber security and connectivity. We are now responsible for Coastguard’s wide area network, internet services, VPN, and firewall and is currently engaged in a project to enhance Coastguard’s organisational security posture.

Over the past two years in particular, Kordia’s support for Coastguard across our IT functions has been particularly invaluable with employees working remotely due to COVID-19 and our long-term future proofing efforts.
