Plus launches the first commercial 5G network in Poland! Nearly a million people within reach

This may be one of the most important moments in the development of the 5G network in Poland - on Monday, May 11, Plus will launch the first commercial 5G network in our country. It will reach several hundred thousand people, but the operator's plans are much larger.

People with 5G internet compatible equipment will be able to take advantage of the new generation of connectivity as early as on Monday, provided that, of course, they are within the range of the network built by Plus.

Plus it starts with 5G - so far for less than a million Polish residents

On May 11, it will launch the first 5G network in Poland on the 2.6 GHz TDD frequency. The network of 100 transmitters will operate in the area of ​​7 Polish cities - Warsaw, Gdańsk, Katowice, Łódź, Poznań, Szczecin and Wrocław. This does not mean, however, that the coverage will cover the entire cities mentioned - in total, 900,000 people will be in the coverage zone, so 100 masts will be located in specific districts.

The frequency used will allow to obtain internet speeds of up to 600 Mb / s, and the current use of this band will provide better coverage than in the case of using only the 3.4-3.8 GHz band and will allow to maintain the possibilities related to the aggregation of 5G bands at further stages of network construction .
