High-speed, low-latency broadband from LEO
Satellite Internet in Poland
Europe · Population: 38M · Internet penetration: 87%
Market Overview
Poland has strong urban broadband but rural eastern regions (known as 'Poland B') face significant connectivity gaps. Starlink is available and has gained adoption in rural areas east of the Vistula. Poland's proximity to Ukraine has also increased interest in resilient satellite communications.
Regulatory Environment
UKE regulates telecommunications. Starlink operates under EU satellite spectrum harmonization. Poland participates in the EU IRIS2 satellite constellation program. The government's National Broadband Plan targets universal 100 Mbps by 2030.
Rural Coverage Gap
Eastern Poland (Podlasie, Lublin, Podkarpackie voivodeships) has the worst broadband access. Approximately 2 million Polish households lack access to fast broadband. Scattered rural settlements in the east make terrestrial deployment uneconomical.
