In all my travels, I've never encountered anything quite like it, particularly given its magnitude. Prising open the mighty King Country, Forgotten World Adventures (FWA) offers remarkable excursions, riding the rails of an abandoned railway line, stretching from the northern tip of the Ruapehu District to heartland Taranaki. It's not only an enduring totem to our guts-and-glory pioneering heritage but a more modern-day manifestation of gritty Kiwi ingenuity – and repurposing! Based in Taumarunui, FWA is an incredibly enterprising tourism venture boasting a compelling platter of soft adventure excursions, prising open the legends, heritage and unspoilt scenery of the hinterland. Forgotten World Adventures re-opened 142 kilometres of this decommissioned railway line in 2012, including 24 tunnels and 92 bridges – all built from hand. Founded by Ian Balme, this Waikato farmer dared to dream big, turning a mothballed rusting eyesore into a visionary business. For the past three years, FWA has been owned and operated by Grant Ross and Laura Wackett. They both have a fascinating backstory, principally in international television production, while Grant was also previously a professional rugby player in South Africa and France. Originally from Wellington, Grant is revelling in steering a homegrown enterprise, which was quite the baptism of fire given New Zealand was still wrestling with Covid when he purchased the business. He's very hands-on and highly engaging with guests. It was fascinating to chat to him about the challenges and rewards of the job – like when a massive storm buried the tunnel entrances in a pile of mud! The prohibitive costs of constant track maintenance underpinned KiwiRail's decision to pull the plug on the line's operation in 2010. Taking nearly 32 years to build, the Stratford – Okahukura Line (SOL) finally opened in 1932 and linked up with the main trunk line through Taumarunui to Auckland. Working gangs sawed and blasted their way through the bush-draped hinterland to lay the tracks of this steel artery. It cost 2.5 million pounds to build this line, equating to billions of dollars today – the most expensive rail line in our nation's history. They even built massive timber-trestle viaducts across the likes of the Mangatatoko Ravine, now overgrown in bush, because it would have been too difficult to maintain such a sky-high bridge. The engineering prowess was extraordinary. The line had been commissioned to transport products from the emerging farming, coal and logging industries. At its peak, there were 15 stations in operation on this line – now, concrete platforms serve as sobering memorial slabs to a bygone age. FWA operate six unique guided adventures, whether you're after a half-day excursion, full day or multi-day adventure. If you want to ride the entire 142km-long line to Stratford, that's a two-day affair, but I plumped for the full-day rail car ride to the self-declared Republic of Whangamōmona. You can do it one-way in either direction, with a night's stay in the irrepressible Whangamōmona Hotel. The historic hotel was built in 1912 and the area's proud history is lustily showcased on the pub walls. But full drama ensued in 1989when Whangamōmona threw a strop and declared its independence. It was prompted by local government reforms which carved up the boundaries of the Whangamōmona district, which resulted in half the district ending up in Manawatu-Whanganui, when most folk associate themselves with the Taranaki region. So they declared independence in the pub and continue celebrating Republic Day in January. You can even get your passport stamped at the pub counter. You'll love the ebullient spirit of the hotel and its patrons, with excellent meals and comfortable accommodation. Arriving into the main street, with its heritage shop facades, you'll feel like you've been transported into a Wild West movie set. It's utterly enthralling, and home to one of New Zealand's legendary watering holes. Meeting up with my FWA guide Ray, we set off from Whangamōmona, under bright blue skies, for our full-day ride back to Okahukura. Ray knows this wild region intimately, guiding since 2016 and prior to that delivering rural mail. He was an exceptional host on the rails, informative and effusively passionate about the region's rich heritage. This is certainly no train ride, but a unique self-drive rail journey in converted golf carts, where you're in charge of the pedals. Petrol powered and limited to a top speed of 22km an hour, these souped-up golf carts originate from Arizona, but given the lush and vivid greenness of the surrounding landscape, they certainly don't look out of place. I was half expecting a vast fairway to appear on the horizon. The weirdest initiation is feeling comfortable not steering the wheel, because you're firmly affixed to the rails. No turning required! The mining and milling heyday of the Forgotten World region may have long faded but the wrap-around scenery is deliriously drool-worthy, a blend of the bucolic, wistful, lonely and rustic. Animals vastly outnumber people in these parts, as we tootled by goats, deer, alpacas and happy herds of cows on elevated pastures, while a vast flock of freshly-sheared sheep skipped alongside the line, under the watchful eye of crowd-wrangling sheepdogs. Clattering along the tracks in our carts, curling through valleys and creased hills, we traversed lichen covered bridges spanning rivers, while more lichen streamed down from trees like confetti. We threaded our way through magnificent native forest, particularly around Tangarakau, where kiwi are being re-introduced to the bush. Towering papa cliffs rose up beside the railway line adding to the natural splendour. Reaching out on the eastern horizon, I snatched the occasional view of mighty Mt Ruapehu, piercing the skyline, by Tahora Saddle. The King Country's tightly folded steep-sided hills and starkly contrasting curvaceous hummocks, created by lahars from Taupo and Ruapehu eruptions, make for riveting topography. The Egyptians would be suitably impressed, because of all the pyramidal shapes that sharply point at the sky. The verdant countryside is sprinkled with clutches of ramshackle houses and dilapidated farm buildings, strutting the skyline as reminders of the region's boom times, when primary industries like timber-milling and coal-mining thrived. When in season, you can even pick wild blackberries, blueberries and apples from the railway line. It's sobering to reflect on how dramatically the population has changed in some of these settlements. A delicious buffet lunch awaited us in Tokirima, which FWA staff had prepared in advance of our arrival. We also stopped for scrumptious home-made snacks and a hot cuppa in the sleepy village of Matiere. It's still home to around 40 residents – and a thriving Cossie Club. At its peak, 85 years ago, Matiere had a population of 750, built on saw-milling and farmers breaking in land. This pioneering town once included a dairy factory, three general stores, two butchers, two drapers, a tailor, bank and post office. Information posts along the route, complete with historical photographs, illustrate how bustling many of these lineside communities used to be. But the undeniable highlight of riding these storied rails are the brick-lined tunnels laid by hand and the longest tunnel on the line, spanning 1500 metres. Apparently it comprises 3.5 million bricks and took eight years to build! Boring through these tunnels on our carts was absolutely thrilling. It certainly pays to wrap up warm. They can be bone-chillingly cold. The 1500 metre tunnel, known as the Okahukura Tunnel, is actually New Zealand's seventh longest rail tunnel. Adding to its ethereal theatre, a thick mist draped the middle of the tunnel, before we re-emerged from the darkness into spectacularly sunlit native bush. Rail travel has always exuded romanticism. The supreme sense of scenic intimacy is unmatched by road travel and the novelty of piloting your own passage along the tracks is an undeniable winner with the Kiwi DIY love affair. While in Taumarunui, my head hit the pillow at the Forgotten World Motel. My well-appointed unit was clean, quiet and toasty, the beds are cloud-comfortable and there's free Wi-Fi. The rail excursion season rolls on until May 10, before resuming again on October. Make tracks!

The second half of the 5G era is here, and the next five years will define its success. “5G has reached the halftime mark—five years since its launch, with another five years until 6G arrives. The second half is all to play for,” says Stephen Douglas, Head of Market Strategy at Spirent. In this episode of Technology Reseller News, host Doug Green sits down with Douglas to discuss the findings of Spirent's 2025 5G Report, which draws insights from over 415 engagements with global operators, suppliers, governments, and enterprises. The report reveals where 5G has succeeded, where it has fallen short, and the key technologies driving growth for the next five years. The Road So Far: 5G's First Half 5G deployments have expanded rapidly, with over 340 commercial non-standalone (NSA) networks worldwide and 2.1 billion users. However, revenue growth has lagged behind expectations, largely due to the staggered rollout of 5G capabilities. Many operators have focused on building out infrastructure rather than launching monetizable services. One notable exception? 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), which has emerged as the biggest commercial success of 5G's first half. With over 162 global launches, FWA has provided an alternative to fiber, enabling broadband expansion in rural and urban markets alike. The Second Half: The Push for Monetization For operators, the next five years will be defined by one goal: turning 5G into a revenue-generating machine. The key enablers of this shift include: 5G Standalone (SA): Only 64 operators have launched full 5G SA networks so far. That number is expected to surge to 160+ in the next three years, unlocking new revenue streams. Enterprise Solutions: Telcos are pivoting away from consumer-driven revenue models and toward high-value enterprise services, including private networks, industrial IoT, and AI-powered automation. Cloud-Native Evolution: 5G core networks are transitioning to cloud-native architectures, allowing for rapid scaling, automation, and seamless software updates. AI-Optimized Networks: AI traffic is becoming a major factor in network planning. Operators are investing in differentiated services, prioritizing AI-powered applications alongside traditional connectivity. Future Game-Changers Beyond 2025, several emerging technologies will redefine telecom's role: Reduced Capability IoT (RedCap): Lightweight, low-power 5G IoT devices will fuel growth in smart manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. 5G-V2X for Automotive Safety: Governments are pushing for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology to enhance road safety and optimize traffic systems. 5G-Enabled Drones: Future 5G networks will provide reliable, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) connectivity for commercial drones. Augmented Reality Glasses: The race is on to bring affordable, lightweight AR glasses to mass markets, potentially creating a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. The Clock is Ticking As operators look ahead, the pressure is on to make 5G a true business success. Spirent anticipates a surge in standalone 5G rollouts, new enterprise-driven services, and innovative use cases that will reshape the telecom landscape.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things across the 5G ecosystem, we review the recent key 5G-related moves made by players advancing 5G readiness consisting Arrcus landing $30 million in new investment including  NVIDIA, T-Mobile launching the Partner Plus channel program at reducing 5G laptop and FWA price barriers, and Ericsson providing perspective on how mobile operators can make progress in offering differentiated connectivity.   Our analytical review drilled down on: Arrcus Lands New Investors Spotlighting NVIDIA Relation. In July, Arrcus announced a significant new investment of $30 million from Prosperity7 Ventures, NVIDIA, Lightspeed, Hitachi Ventures, Liberty Global, Clear Ventures, and General Catalyst. Arrcus' routing and switching platform, Arrcus Connected Edge (or ACE), features a distributed microservices architecture that is flexible, high-performance, fully programmable, and hybrid cloud ready. We assess why Arrcus' ACE networking platform, using the NVIDIA BlueField DPU, can enable customers to efficiently offload, accelerate, and isolate compute-intensive networking applications such as security and traffic engineering. T-Mobile Focuses on Lowering 5G Laptop and FWA Barriers. T-Mobile announcing the launch of Partner Plus, a new channel subsidy program designed to reduce the initial cost of 5G laptops and enterprise-grade 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) equipment from Cradlepoint, part of Ericsson. We examine how T-Mobile's new program can help businesses overcome cost barriers, as it has teamed up with major global distributors Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX alongside the Cradlepoint partnership. This collaboration can enable the immediate and convenient procurement of 5G capabilities, through 5G laptops and 5G FWA solutions, at attractive price points while fulfilling the topmost security concerns of businesses through key offerings such as T-Mobile Secure Access Service Edge, the SIM-based SASE solution that uses International Mobile Subscriber Identity and International Mobile Equipment Identity for clientless authentication. Ericsson Advocates Differentiated Connectivity. Ericsson shares its perspective on how communication service providers (CSPs) currently offer a buffet of dishes at a fixed price, but some dishes are eaten by most consumers while others are barely touched. Buffets usually mean a significant amount of food wastage. As a result, some customers experience disappointment due to the quality of food, while others consume, either more or less than what they have paid for. All in all, this is a ‘best effort' type of restaurant, offering too much at a satisfactory quality. We explore how things are changing as 5G networks enable CSPs to offer the possibility to launch bistro versions of the restaurant, providing a menu to consumers instead. The Ericsson Mobility Report (June 2024) indicates that 5G uptake has increased and that mobile data traffic has increased by 25 percent between 2023 and 2024 providing broader opportunity for CSPs to enable businesses and developers to offer guaranteed and secure mobile connectivity, centered around the value of service differentiation, to fulfill the unique needs of customers.
