Ask SmartComms who we think you should contact first
Send us the project, or complete one of the free tools first. We will review what you need, what is already installed and your region, then reply with the provider or providers in our selected New Zealand network that we think are best suited, including public contact details and why they may fit. You decide who to contact.

Start with your site or the problem you are trying to solve. SmartComms covers site-wide paging, scheduled bells and messages, emergency communication, fixed intercoms, indoor and outdoor speakers, and the infrastructure that connects them.

For New Zealand schools
Cost, system design and funding in one place
The school guide brings together the questions schools usually research separately: what a modern paging and bell system can do, what a small, medium or large project may cost, and whether fixed communications work has a potential 5YA pathway.
Built to make the next step easier
Whether you are researching a future project or ready to ask for quotes, SmartComms helps you understand the architecture, budget, funding possibilities and questions worth resolving. When you want a human next step, we can also review the project and tell you which providers we think are worth contacting first.
