Nordisk Polska requested DanCell to support a feasibility study for a CDMA2000 project in Poland in the 410 MHz band. DanCell was already familiar with the Polish market from the prior successful launch of Polkomtel and some rural FWA projects in various regions of the country and accordingly accepted the challenge of designing a nation wide Mobile Broadband and Telephony network in Poland.
The network design aimed at providing effective broadband and telephony service in all parts of Poland not just in the big cities and the regulators liked the design and business proposal leading to a license being granted to Nordisk Polska.
The network is now rolled out in major parts of the country and covers at present more than 47% of the country with a target to reach 80% in the near term stimulating the economy in wide areas of the country that has had no broadband access available up to now.

This allows people to work from home and rural industries to be vastly more effective thus increasing the prosperity in rural Poland and reducing the traffic pressure on the main roads leading into the capital and major cities as more people get the opportunity to work locally.
"One of the obvious but often overlooked aspects of a wider access to the Internet is the ability to reduce pressure on roads and the huge CO2 emissions and wasted in queues around major cities. Consider as an example only at the impact it will have in everyday life, if every day were 10 to 15% fewer cars in the inbound direction on the roads and around major cities? " says Erik
Hornung.
