Coverage will be everywhere after the amendments to the CSC Law. At least that’s the goal

As for the amendments to the CSC Law, we can see that a new important body called the Strategic Security Network Operator (OSSB) is emerging. It should be responsible for the entire telecommunications sector, whether wireless, wired or satellite. Exatel is considered an OSSB organization.

“There is no direct dependence on 5G, because OSSB is a broader institution, >> metaoperator << you can say, regardless of the technology used, it provides different types of critical communication services for selected customers.”- Michaat Szczęsny, EXATEL’s Director of Architecture and Network Planning, explains in an interview with our website.

Another important body that amends the CSC Law “# Polskie5G”. After the letter of intent was signed (under the auspices of the then Ministry of Digitalization), four commercial operators (Polkomtel, Play, Orange, T-Mobile) and two state-controlled entities worked on its concept; PFR and Exatel. By design, it was about Institutions participating in the initiative: creation of a special purpose vehicle, which will be a public-private partnership between the financial institution (PFR), the State Treasury Telecom (Exatel) and four representatives of the private sector (Orange, T-). Mobil, Play, Polkomtel).

As Michał Szczęsny points out, the main goal was to make the most efficient use of the 700 MHz band – we are going to minimize the costs associated with the construction of several de facto independent networks, achieve a synergistic effect and build a network. can provide critical or strategic wireless services as a whole. Therefore # Polskie5G will act as a wholesaler that offers RAN (Radio Access Network) capabilities in the 5G NR (New Radio) standard..

“# Polskie5G” is a wholesale operator that builds resources on a 5G wireless mobile network.

The building is the third key element National special communication network for the so-called “First responders”, that is, all kinds of services, such as the police, ambulance, fire brigade and other units that are the first to act to protect our lives, health and property. Then as follows: institutions and organizations of a similar nature, such as the army, security services and all agencies responsible for critical infrastructure.

The private network will use a built-in access network as part of # Polskie5G and will provide wireless services, among others. first responders.

“Financial account is cruel”

Exatel’s expert notes that our services in Poland meet the TETRA standard in the 1990s.Ground Trunk Radio) or older generation solutions, but the problem is the effectiveness of collaboration (ability to work together) and scope.

“In the event of an accident, often (services – ed.) Operate on the basis of conventional solutions, such as a standard mobile phone,” – said our interlocutor.

The provisions of the amendments to the CSC Act are intended not only to increase efficiency, but also to adequately address the problem of geographical coverage of the country with wireless mobile services..

“Operators do not pay to install base stations in the mountains, in the woods, in areas where there are no real customers – they prefer to have no coverage in these areas or only one at the level of 2G / 3G network. The financial account is brutal, “explains Michał Szczęsny.

Operators are proud to own 99 percent. coverage, but the figures they provide refer to the population, ie how many Poles actually reach their network. Geographically, it looks very, very weak.

Michał Szczęsny, EXATEL Network Architecture and Planning Director

Therefore, the plan was to build a common network for everyone (government, operators, Exatel), which will significantly increase its coverage and quality throughout the country.

It is worth considering When building a communication network, it always starts with the needs of users who are classified as “first responders”. (fire, police, ambulance, etc.). However, it is not always the case that services use a particular band, especially outside urban areas. Accidents occur irregularly, so this is not a permanent situation.

“Therefore, it is worthwhile to use such a network in the most effective way by others, for example, by commercial organizations.” This is in line with global trends, ”said the Exatel expert. He adds that, unfortunately, in this regard, Europe is not only far behind, but also not very creative. “We are consumers of those who come from the Far East or across the Great Water,” he says.
