T-Mobile Poland has started cooperation with the Polish Open Fibre network (PŚO) and will gain access to the PŚO network, which covers nearly 3.8 million households.

“We want to reach as many customers as possible with the best T-Mobile convergent services offer. Therefore, even though we already boast the second-largest fibre-optic service coverage in the country, we are constantly expanding the availability of our offer by establishing cooperation with partners such as Polish Open Fibre. As a result, nearly 10 million Polish households will be able to take advantage of the full T-Mobile offer,” said T-Mobile Polska CEO Andreas Maierhofer.

The agreement between the companies was signed in December this year and regulates the parties’ cooperation concerning both HFC and FTTH networks. Wholesale services are made available in the BSA (bitstream access) model. Thanks to this agreement, customers who have so far been outside the reach of T-Mobile’s fibre offer but are within the reach of the CSP network will be given the opportunity to use it. They will soon be able to take advantage of the full convergent offering of the magenta operator.

T-Mobile stressed that its investments are not only focused on the development of its wireless network. The company is also intensively expanding its fibre-optic infrastructure, data centres and developing its ICT and security competencies.

Polish Open Fibre is the largest exclusively wholesale operator offering all retail operators open, non-discriminatory access to the broadband network in Poland. At launch, it covered 3.7 million households. By 2028, it is planning to expand its coverage by a further 2 million to ultimately cover more than 6 million households.

T-Mobile is an operator with more than 12.5 million customers. The company is building a network through solutions such as fibre infrastructure, converged services, 5G network, entertainment services, cloud solutions, data centres or individual and business cyber security services.
