More than 60 temporary cells sites are going up these holidays to keep Kiwis connected.

Spark is preparing for a rise in demand for mobile data across the country.

Popular holiday spots like Kinloch, Picton, Twizel and Mangawhai will be receiving extra cellular support.

Infrastructure Lead Rob Berrill says people are keen to share their summer experiences with friends and family online.

He says Spark recently completed its biggest-ever wireless upgrade, meaning holiday spots which usually need a boost, won't need one this year.
