Spark TowerCo today announced its new logo and brand name, ‘Connexa’.

Rob Berrill, Connexa CEO, says the brand reflects the power of connectivity, which is at the heart of what the business provides. 

“If the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that connectivity is a lifeline, and matters more than ever in an increasingly digital world. 

“Connexa already has over 1200 mobile sites across Aotearoa and has been commissioned to deliver New Zealand’s largest forward-committed new site build programme of over 670 new sites over the next 10 years.  This is a significant investment in the digital infrastructure that will underpin the growth of the country’s digital economy and enable a more connected future.”

Connexa became New Zealand’s first independent mobile tower company when Spark sold a 70% interest in its passive mobile infrastructure assets to Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (OTPP) in July, with the transaction being completed in October.

Although an independent tower industry is still in its infancy in New Zealand, the model has been around for some time in overseas markets where tower companies have played a key role in enabling and accelerating the rollout of critical infrastructure and new technologies such as 5G. 

Berrill continues, “The power of connectivity is immense and immeasurable. We're proud to be working with our customers and communities throughout the country to play a role in helping to unleash it, to unlock that potential and accelerate Aotearoa New Zealand’s digital future."
