Poland without communications system. In the event of an attack the army, police and may be helpless – Money.pl

– Poland is the only country in Europe that does not have a uniform system of communications for the emergency services and public order – says money Forums Piotr Rutkowski, an expert strategy for the telecommunications market. – This system was first created in 1995. Concept we have plenty, written by enlightened bodies. But there was never money and political will – adds Anna Streżyńska was president of UKE, now minister of digitization in the PiS government.

In fact, since the flood of the century in 1997.. when services have been paralyzed by the weakness of communication systems, it created several concepts entirely new system. To date, none has been implemented. – Some governments to work for creation of a communications system on a “what if succeed to survive another day without problems,” – dismisses Vaclav Iszkowski, president of the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications.

As a result, instead of a nationwide communications system still operate in Poland’s strategy of islands – that was even before Euro 2012 when in some large cities created bought equipment and communications systems. Each on their own.

– Reduction of operating time thanks to good communication is crucial in emergency. Rarely taken into account, and yet people die when help comes too late – she tells us Piotr Rutkowski, telecommunications expert and vice president of the fund Mikromakro. Thereby making it clear that the communication system is not only a matter of time response during the crisis or of such attacks that took place in Paris.

He adds that the system does not rely solely on radio to exchange information. – This includes data on technical resources – on cranes, trucks, which can carry something heavy. It is also about local security electrical installations, etc. Such information is currently collected in analog, and it should all be scyfryzowane and even automated to any kind of crisis – explains Rutkowski.

Is the lack of unified communications system means chaos communication services? So bad it is not, because – as he points out the expert – everyone is aware of “communication holes”. I deal with them on their way. – When we organized a conference against one of the sporting events in Sopot, they have been carried out exercises. Some police officers and firefighters had the 3-way radios, each with a different system! – Says Piotr Rutkowski.



When the offset for the F-16 did not work out

One of the proponents of a communication system for all uniformed services and special Ryszard Kalisz, chief of the Ministry of Interior in the government of Marek Belka in 2004-2005. – It was even here is that every policeman could at any time to learn all about the suspects. This concept was to be made in the context offset the purchase of F-16 aircraft from the United States – recalls in an interview with money.pl. The cost of this project was estimated at one billion dollars.

He says Kalisz was established then a special company Tetra Poland and with her “were conducted long and intensive talks, which even tended to the end”. – At the last moment it turned out that the company wants too much and too little give and to sign the contract did not happen. Since then it’s been 10 years, and still does not have such a system – he added.

Former SLD politician promotes another idea for a communication system: based not on the basis of relay stations, and fiber. – This concept has already been developed and is underway. Looking forward, the new government this interest – says policies. As he explains, it is a project to create a data communications system for the management of national security in states of emergency, in which involved many institutions, such as the Military University of Technology, Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Strategy Polish.

Who should build the system?

The new system promoted by Ryszard Kalisz, would have cost approx. 1.5 million zł. However, experts are not convinced of the reasonableness of such expenses.

As notes Vaclav Iszkowski, president of the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications, the creation of a communication system does not need to rely on the construction of new infrastructure. – Even at the stage of that project, there were voices that may not be worth building this separately, but make internal roaming all operators – said in an interview with money.pl.

Peter Rutkowski adds that due to the rapid progress technology, the cost of such a system is rather hundreds of millions, billions not. – It’s no longer a question of costs. These investments are much, much lower than when it first estimated and planned, almost 20 years ago – says the expert. – According to some ideas State does not even need much to create such a system, only pay for the service – he says. He explained that the construction of the system can instruct the operator to a commercial, as was done in Norway.

With this approach also agrees Tomasz Kulisiewicz , an expert in IT and electronic communication with analyst firm Audytel. In his opinion, it is unwise to build a state communications system in a single technology. – Now put a hybrid system: both wired and wireless, based mainly on IP. Such a system may realize any sufficiently strong and efficient operator – Orange, T-Mobile and Polkomtel with Cyfrowy Polsat – she says.

– From the technical side of creating such a system the issue well controlled, we can say that almost trivial – believes Kulisiewicz. – Signs the only special agreement with the operator, which has strict commitment to quality, reliability, encryption, and various other parameters – he says.

The expert argues that the commercial operator has a much more skilled at creating any systems communications than “any public services that are a few dozen dedicated employees to cross.” – It should not be the operator of the state, because it clashes with the economy. The cost to build such a system from scratch are billions.
