A new era of technological development of cities has begun! Also for Wroclaw
Smart City is becoming a reality thanks to cooperation between local governments and public institutions. A groundbreaking agreement has just been announced between Wroclaw, Rzeszow and the Office of Electronic Communications, with the participation of the Pawel Adamowicz Union of Polish Metropolises. Both investors and residents will benefit.
The Office of Electronic Communications, the city of Rzeszow, the city of Wroclaw and the Pawel Adamowicz Union of Polish Metropolises have embarked on a joint initiative aimed at the effective use of frequency bands for the expansion of private networks operated by local government units and businesses.
Technology can support everyday life
The innovative approach to Smart City proposed by the agreement includes not only the technical and legal aspect aimed at potential investors building private networks, but also emphasizes the social benefits of these solutions for residents.
This event is of great importance for both Wroclaw and Rzeszow. Both cities are betting on innovative solutions to meet the challenges of modern society. The introduction of dedicated frequency bands for the development of private networks will bring not only efficiency, but also an improvement in the quality of life of residents. The agreement also covers the legal and technical aspects of implementing the new solutions.
Our goal is to create not only modern cities, but first and foremost citizen-friendly places where technology supports everyday life.

They will implement private 5G networks
According to Dr. Jacek Oko, President of the Office of Electronic Communications, before the decision was made to allocate dedicated bandwidth for the network to private investors, discussions were held with many local governments and organizations bringing them together. According to him, the level of understanding of the potential inherent in 5G and digitization varies greatly among them.
With Wroclaw and Rzeszow, as well as the Union of Polish Metropolises, we understood each other practically without words from the very beginning. That's why I'm very happy that it is in such a team that we will educate and show the experience of private 5G network deployments.
