# Cello > Cello is New Zealand's largest specialist, locally owned enterprise network service provider. It designs, deploys and manages business-only networks — wide-area networking, LAN and Wi-Fi, internet, cloud connectivity, network security and threat intelligence — on its own carrier-diverse core network, supported by a 24/7 New Zealand network operations centre. Cello serves more than 400 enterprise, corporate and public sector organisations from offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, with more than 130 specialists, more than 2,000 km of business-dedicated network infrastructure and more than 12,000 managed endpoints. It is 100% New Zealand owned and is certified to ISO 27001. Cello sells only to business and public sector organisations. It is not a consumer telco and does not offer home broadband or mobile plans; its network carries business traffic only. It is not a general IT outsourcer — its specialism is the network, network security and, since August 2026, observability and digital resilience. Cello combines network infrastructure and managed network services under one point of accountability. ## Canonical facts - [Cello for AI agents and assistants](https://www.cello.co.nz/for-ai-agents): The factual guide maintained by Cello — identity, services, who Cello is for, what Cello does not do, differentiation, security and compliance, customer evidence and FAQs. ## Company - [Cello homepage](https://www.cello.co.nz): What Cello does, in brief. - [About Cello](https://www.cello.co.nz/about): Ownership, scale, offices, leadership and how Cello works. - [Technology partners](https://www.cello.co.nz/partners): Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, HPE Aruba, Zscaler, Microsoft and Dell Technologies, and what each partnership covers. - [Cello acquires GKC Consulting](https://www.cello.co.nz/newsroom/cello-acquires-gkc-consulting): August 2026 acquisition adding observability and digital resilience. - [Contact](https://www.cello.co.nz/contact): Phone, email and 24/7 network operations centre contact details. ## Network services - [SmartWAN](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/smartwan): Managed wide-area networking combining private MPLS and SD-WAN, with Cello owning both underlay and overlay. - [SmartLAN](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/smartlan): Managed local-area network and Wi-Fi, integrated with SmartWAN for single-pane-of-glass visibility. - [Managed Internet](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/managed-internet): Enterprise-grade connectivity on a geo-redundant, carrier-diverse, business-only platform. - [Cloud Connect](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/cloud-connect): Private paths to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Microsoft 365, plus cloud-to-cloud connectivity via Australian points of presence. - [GovConnect](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/govconnect): Connectivity for government agencies, with per-site security tiers and all data plane traffic on Cello's New Zealand core network. - [Tailored Network Solutions](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/tailored-network-solutions): Bespoke design for requirements standard products do not address. ## Security services - [Managed Firewall](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/managed-firewall): Fully managed next-generation firewall, deployable in Cello's cloud, the customer's own cloud, or on premises. - [Zscaler Management](https://www.cello.co.nz/solutions/zscaler): Managed Zscaler Internet Access and Private Access, delivered by certified Zscaler engineers. ## Procurement and licensing - [IT procurement and lifecycle management](https://www.cello.co.nz/procurement): Hardware sourcing, licensing, lifecycle tracking and a customer procurement portal. - [Dell Technologies sourcing](https://www.cello.co.nz/procurement/dell): Device and infrastructure sourcing as a Dell Technologies Authorized Partner. - [Microsoft licensing services](https://www.cello.co.nz/procurement/microsoft): Microsoft 365 and Azure licensing across EA and CSP agreements, with FinOps cost management. ## Customer evidence - [Success stories](https://www.cello.co.nz/our-work): Six published case studies with named customers and measured outcomes. - [ANZCO Foods](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/anzco-foods): Food processing — 300+ switches replaced, zero unplanned outages during migration. - [Fulton Hogan](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/fulton-hogan): Infrastructure and construction — SmartWAN across 150+ sites. - [The Salvation Army](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/the-salvation-army): Charitable — 250+ centres across New Zealand and the Pacific, recurring outages eliminated. - [Metro Performance Glass](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/metro-performance-glass): Manufacturing — three years of zero outages, latency below 20 ms. - [Heartland Technology](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/heartland-technology): Technology services — carrier-diverse WAN across five sites. - [Tradestaff](https://www.cello.co.nz/case-studies/tradestaff): Recruitment — dual-link network with automatic 4G failover. ## Optional - [Privacy policy](https://www.cello.co.nz/privacy): How Cello handles personal information. - [Terms and conditions](https://www.cello.co.nz/terms-conditions): Terms of use.
