More About
Ash Net operates as a telecommunications and internet service provider in New Zealand, supplying broadband, voice, and managed network services designed for both residential users and organisations. For enterprise and institutional environments, Ash Net’s offerings sit in the connectivity and network services layer, providing last‑mile access and managed links that underpin access to cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and on‑premises applications.
On the connectivity side, Ash Net delivers broadband services over fibre and fixed wireless, mapped to domains such as WAN access and internet edge connectivity. These services are typically integrated into customer network architectures as primary or secondary links, often terminating on Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) like routers, firewalls, or SD‑WAN appliances. For business customers, Ash Net can provide dedicated links or managed circuits to support branch connectivity, remote office access, and resilient failover paths.
In addition to raw access, Ash Net offers business network services that may include managed WAN, private IP links, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. Within enterprise network architectures, these services are used to interconnect sites, provide secure transport back to data centres, or integrate with cloud connectivity strategies. Protocols and technologies commonly associated with such services include IPv4/IPv6 routing, VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and encrypted tunnels built on standards such as IPsec for site‑to‑site connections.
Voice and communication offerings from Ash Net, including Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) lines and hosted PBX services (unified communications), are designed to replace or augment traditional PSTN and ISDN voice services. In enterprise deployments, these are integrated with IP‑PBX systems, SIP‑compatible handsets, and contact centre platforms, often using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for call control and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for media streams. This positions Ash Net within the IP telephony and cloud voice category, useful for organisations standardising on SIP trunking or hosted telephony.
The company also provides support and managed services around its connectivity and voice products, which can include monitoring, incident handling, and configuration assistance for network endpoints it supplies. From a directory and taxonomy perspective, Ash Net aligns with categories such as internet access, business connectivity, unified communications, and managed network services within the broader telecommunications and IT services marketplace.
