IT & networking consultancy
Full technology lifecycle specialists in New Zealand and across the globe
From architecture and design through to implementation and ongoing operations, we bring the kind of expertise that only comes from solving genuinely complex problems.
WHAT WE DO
Independent network expertise, from design to delivery
Searchlight helps organisations make confident, independent decisions about their networks and their technology, then does the work to make them real.
We work across architecture & design, independent peer review, health checks & audits, and vendor & carrier negotiation.
For clients who need eyes on their network outside business hours, our on-call support model puts experienced consultants, not a helpdesk, on the line.

Practical solutions built on telco and ISP expertise
Leveraging our extensive background in telecommunications operators and internet service providers, we continue to develop modern, scalable solutions to common challenges that are experienced.
Īmēra:
modern email infrastructure for ISPs
Customer email, once a requirement of an ISP in the 90s and 2000s, is something that ISPs continue to offer for their long-time customers, but is not an area of active development for most ISPs. This is where Īmēra steps in, as a modern, scalable, API driven platform that ISPs can easily leverage.
OpenLI: open source lawful interception, done right
OpenLI is an open source answer to those who need to meet ETSI standards for their Lawful Interception obligations. Searchlight develops the open source platform, and offers deployment assistance, managed deployments, and tools that work with OpenLI for integration.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our extensive background means we understand networks can carry real consequences: regulatory obligation, uptime expectations, and the operational discipline that comes with running critical infrastructure.
-
We work alongside telco and mobile network teams on decisions that carry regulatory weight, from lawful interception obligations through to the architecture choices that determine whether a network scales or strains, across both fixed and mobile infrastructure.
-
From subscriber management and broadband architecture through to the platforms behind the service, we understand the operational reality of running an ISP because we've built technology for that exact environment.
-
Where uptime isn't negotiable, we bring the same discipline we'd expect if it were our own network on the line, backed by decades of hands-on experience in environments where failure has real consequences.
If your challenge sits somewhere between "we need a second opinion" and "we need someone to actually run this," that's where we can help.
WHY SEARCHLIGHT
We start by asking questions rather than assuming we already know the answer.
We're experienced in finding that underlying issue before we start recommending anything, and it changes the quality of what we deliver.
This approach is backed by real depth. Our team has spent decades in networking and security at a level most consultancies hand off to someone else, so when an engagement gets technically hard, we stay in it rather than escalating it away.
Got a network problem?
Got a network problem you're not sure how to describe yet? That's usually a good place to start. Get in touch and tell us what's not working, or what you're not sure is right; we'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and what that would actually look like.
