DOC deploys Starlink emergency communications kits

29 October 2025

FIRST72 is proud to support the Department of Conservation (DOC) in enhancing emergency communication capability across remote locations across NZ.

As part of this initiative, DOC has deployed FIRST72’s Starlink Emergency Communication Kits, providing reliable internet connectivity in areas where networks are often unavailable.

DOC plays a vital role in protecting Aotearoa’s natural environment and supporting the safety of staff, contractors and visitors working in remote terrain.

Each kit includes a Starlink mini, our FIRST72 rapid deployment battery unit, high-capacity Milwaukee battery packs providing up to 12+ hours of off-grid continuous power, all comprised in one easy to use kit.
