Kordia Solutions

What Kordia Solutions does

Kordia Solutions (legal entity: Kordia Limited) is a New Zealand-headquartered, privately held telecommunications and cybersecurity company founded in 1965 that operates mission-critical broadcast, connectivity, and maritime communications infrastructure. It manages one of New Zealand's largest privately held telecom networks, including Level 4-rated transmission sites at Mt Kaukau, Waiatarua, and Sugarloaf engineered to remain operational during severe weather and earthquakes, alongside Maritime Operations Centres providing safety-of-life communications across approximately one-quarter of the world's oceans. The company is organised around six service pillars — Broadcast Solutions (Cloud & OTT, Television, FM Radio), Cloud Transformation, Connectivity (Secure Edge SASE, Intelligent WAN, Cloud Connect, Zero Trust), Critical Communications (DAS, Wi-Fi), Cyber Security (24/7 SOC, DFIR, managed security, plus the Aura Information Security and Redshield subsidiaries), and Voice (Dialpad, Microsoft Teams, Webex, VADACOM Cloud PBX) — supplemented by wholesale carrier services and global maritime communications.

The underlying technology stack combines owned-and-operated transmission infrastructure (digital microwave radio links, distributed antenna systems, nationwide fibre, three 24/7/365 operations centres covering SOC, NOC, and Maritime Operations) with managed security tooling and resold cloud voice platforms. Business model revenue is generated through multi-year managed services contracts, professional services engagements (particularly cyber advisory and penetration testing through Aura), subscription-based voice and connectivity fees, and wholesale carrier arrangements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with an enterprise/government sales motion. Customers span enterprise, government, and wholesale telecom segments in New Zealand with maritime services extending globally, and the company operates an enterprise field-sales channel supported by direct account executives, technical consultants, a customer portal, and phone-based support. Leadership comprises CEO Shaun Rendell and Board Chair Ben Kepes, with Aroha Fleming as Head of Communications.
