It is among the first in the country to receive a permit for this reserved spectrum from the Polish regulator
The Office of Electronic Communications (UKE), the Polish regulatory authority, has granted Comarch a permit to use the 4.4.1GHz bandwidth assigned to private 5G networks for one year. Comarch plans to build a network in its 5G LAB using mu-MIMO technology to develop test and demonstrate its solutions.
Comarch will also be able to test self-management and AI-assisted network optimisation (MIRA) solutions at higher frequencies.
It intends to integrate the new network with the central infrastructure at its headquarters in Kraków. The company will demonstrate off-the-shelf solutions to customers in the Innovation Space.
Comarch says the new set up will enable it to do tests directly with customers in other sectors “ensuring more future-proof and reliable products for customers”.
Michał Mędrala, Head of OSS Consulting and Product Management at Comarch, commented, “Acquiring the permit has opened up many new possibilities for us.”
He added, “Initially, we will use it to conduct extensive tests of our network management and monitoring solutions using 5G LAB. Another important step will be ensuring the ability to demonstrate our on-demand solutions and services on a fully operational 5G network across the whole Comarch campus located in Kraków.”
