Trip across the ditch

NZIX was a proud Gold Sponsor of this year’s NZNOG, which took place in Rotorua late March. The NZIX team hosted a stand and were a valued contributor towards making the event a resounding success.

In the conference itself, NZIX committee member Simon Allard, in his capacity as Head of Technology Architecture at 2degrees, gave a fascinating talk about the impacts and learnings from Cyclone Gaby for both Vocus and 2degrees . Rene, from FLEXOPTIX, gave both a terrifying, yet heart-warming talk on the Keep Ukraine Connected project.

IAA also sent our very own Matt Kobayashi who gave a bit of an update on ‘all things tech’ on NZIX’s three exchanges and an informative lightning talk about optical circulators and how they can be used when bi-directional (BiDi) optical transceivers are not available.
