Overview
The NGA Tail Extension Service (TES) is an ancillary service that allows you to aggregate UFB Bitstream services from multiple UFB candidate areas on a single UFB handover connection service.
Launched in March 2020, our NGA national tail extension service enables you to expand your business nationwide quickly – expanding into areas where you might not already have a presence or reduce operating costs by closing down underutilised Points of Presence (PoP).
We will aggregate your UFB Bitstream services from multiple UFB coverage areas on a single UFB handover connection.
Currently, without TES you must have a UFB handover connection at 27 points of interconnection to provide service nationally. With NGA Tail Extension you can do it with one.

Benefits
Benefits to retail service providers
- Expand into new coverage areas with no requirement to purchase additional handovers or set up costly infrastructure, even servicing those smaller more remote areas.
- Reduce operating cost by reducing transport services between UFB candidate areas as you can map all your NGA services to a single handover anywhere in New Zealand.
- Simplified pricing structure with charges per subscriber, 3 easy price steps: regional, national same island and national different island.
- Redundancy with redundant links provided between the Local POI and the Handover POI.
Other benefits
- Reduced set up costs: minimise infrastructural setup costs within smaller and more remote coverage areas.
- Support competition: this service encourages NGA take-up in smaller and more remote NGA coverage areas, by supporting competition in these areas, and lowering the barriers to entry for smaller and secondary service providers.
