Polish infrastructure manager PKP PLK deployed GSM-R communication system along eleven lines across the country. The 2G-based GSM-R system will run in preliminary operation for 14 days and is due to be fully implemented on 8 March. The wider rollout is intended to cover around 1,500 kilometres of railway lines, following the first fully launched sections in the Warsaw and Tricity areas late last year.
