Alternatively, if your community wants fast uncapped broadband service and there is no Gisborne Net service already available, it may be possible to provide a jointly funded solar powered repeater for your area. The proposed repeater site should have good line of sight to all properties requiring service, and to one of Gisborne Net’s Network repeaters. read more
