Poutiri Trust in Partnership with our Network Providers and Waka Digital IT Solutions, have established and deployed 9 fixed ICT sites across the Bay of Plenty and a Mobile Lab that is equipped with 15 laptops and satellite broadband technology.
This project was funded by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Digital Strategy and Community Project Funding Scheme. Raranga ICT is about offering rural communities access to hardware technology and the internet.
The following 9 fixed sites contain four laptops, a laser printer and internet access that is open to their communities to learn about computing and the internet;
Western BOP
Huria Management Trust - 4 Te Kaponga Street, Huria Marae, Tauranga
Te Awanui Hauora - Matakana Island
Ngai Te Ahi - Ngati He Hauora - 289 Maungatapu Road, Tauranga

Community members from these area's are able to visit one of the above sites where you can be trained to use a number of computer programmes and how to access the internet.
ICT Mobile Lab
The mobile lab consists of 15 Laptops, Satellite Dish and Modem and a Laser Printer. The lab can access the internet from virtually any location in Aotearoa thanks to Satellite Broadband technology. The mobile lab is accessed by the 9 physical sites in the Bay of Plenty when they require further laptops and broadband access for their community training programmes.
A key component to the ICT Project is to ensure sustainability of this project overtime and past the point of funding. Poutiri Trust and Waka Digital has developed a sustainable model where external organisations are able to hire the Mobile Lab to assist in the use of technology and satellite broadband technology.
Hire the Mobile Lab
Hireage of the Mobile Lab consists of the laptops and satellite technology as well as a technician who will arrive to your destination and setup the equipment and technology for you. The technician will also assist with any technical issues should this occur, and then at the completion of your day, pack down the equipment and return back to Tauranga.
