We have successfully completed all the necessary systems and network configuration required to upgrade the Ponsonby exchange into an additional UFB Point of Interconnection (POI) for the Auckland area.

What's happening

You’ve asked us for additional UFB POI in the Auckland area, so we’re pleased to announce the addition of Ponsonby. This additional POI, as well as providing a handover point for Auckland area fibre connections and an additional node on Chorus Regional Transport network and Auckland Metro ring network, also offers co-location space and power providing an additional network diversity solution.

You can now order 10G & 100G UFB Handover Connections from the Ponsonby exchange. Please note that 1G is not available on this site.

The Chorus Regional Transport Coverage Map  and UFB POI list is updated to reflect this change. UFB contracts will be updated once the approval process is complete.

To give visibility of our UFB POI roadmap, below are the additional UFB POIs that Chorus plans to deliver by end of June 2020. They will also provide 10G and 100G Handover Connections but not 1G.
