NASK has selected contractors in a procedure with a total gross value of PLN 254.47 million for the modernisation of LAN and WLAN networks in educational institutions throughout Poland.
The KPO project includes the modernisation of ICT infrastructure in approximately 30,000 school rooms and the provision of access to fast and secure Internet.
Sprint SA is carrying out nine parts of the procedure, being responsible for the modernisation of infrastructure in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Łódzkie, Mazowieckie, Pomorskie, Śląskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeships.
One of the largest infrastructure projects for Polish education in recent years is underway. NASK – National Research Institute is modernising LAN and WLAN networks in selected educational institutions throughout the country as part of a tender procedure with a total gross value of PLN 254 471 996.92. The project is financed from the funds of the National Reconstruction Plan within the framework of the investment ‘Ensuring access to very high-speed Internet in white spaces’ (indicator C6aG).
The tender was divided into 24 parts and covered the comprehensive design and construction of modern network infrastructure in schools. The scale of the project makes it one of the largest ongoing ICT investments dedicated to the education sector in Poland.
Modern infrastructure for thousands of schools and classrooms
The scope of work includes the modernisation of ICT infrastructure in approximately 30,000 school rooms, including classrooms, computer rooms and other teaching spaces as specified by the contracting authority. The project involves the construction and modernisation of LAN and WLAN networks, together with the installation and configuration of network devices, as well as the preparation of a complete infrastructure enabling stable access to digital services.
According to the project’s assumptions, each modernised teaching space is to be equipped with access to a network with a capacity exceeding 100 Mb/s. The investment is expected to increase the possibility to use digital educational materials, e-learning platforms, cloud services and tools supporting the modern teaching process.
However, the significance of the project goes beyond the mere modernisation of the IT infrastructure. In practice, the project is one of the foundations for the further digitisation of Polish education and for building the technological competence of students and teachers. The development of modern ICT networks is also expected to enable schools to make wider use of solutions based on artificial intelligence, multimedia and modern digital working environments.
Sprint SA is carrying out nine parts of the procedure
One of the contractors selected by NASK is Sprint SA, which is responsible for the implementation of nine parts of the procedure covering Kuyavia-Pomerania I and II, Łódź I and II, Mazovia III, Pomerania, Silesia I and II, and Warmia-Mazury. The contracts for the implementation of the project were signed on 17 April 2026.
The total value of the contracts executed by Sprint SA amounts to approx. The scope of work includes comprehensive design and execution of LAN and WLAN infrastructure in educational institutions located in the indicated areas. The company is responsible for, among other things, the preparation of cable infrastructure, installation of network equipment, configuration of ICT environments and implementation of solutions ensuring high efficiency and security of data transmission.
– The digital transformation of schools today requires an infrastructure that is not only efficient, but also scalable and prepared for the further development of digital services. In practice, this means the need to build network environments capable of handling the growing number of devices, educational platforms and advanced tools used in the teaching process, says Sławomir Wojtacki, CEO of Sprint SA.
As emphasised by representatives of the IT market, modern network infrastructure is currently becoming one of the key elements in the operation of educational institutions. Not only are the technical parameters of the network itself increasingly important, but also its security, resilience and the possibility of further expansion without the need for costly upgrades in subsequent years.
– Projects implemented for the education sector are now of strategic importance from the perspective of digital competence development and equal access to modern technologies. A properly designed network infrastructure becomes the foundation of a modern school and a condition for the effective implementation of further digital services, adds Sławomir Wojtacki.
KPO accelerates digitisation of Polish education
The project implemented by NASK is one of the most important infrastructural undertakings financed from the funds of the National Reconstruction Plan in the area of digitisation and education. The aim of the investment is to increase the quality of Internet access in schools, improve the stability of ICT environments and reduce the so-called ‘white spots’ in access to modern digital services.
Experts emphasise that the development of LAN and WLAN infrastructure will have a direct impact on the possibilities for further digitisation of educational institutions, from the implementation of modern STEM labs and digital laboratories, to solutions supporting cyber security, device management or the use of AI-based tools.
According to the project schedule, all works related to the investment are to be completed by 31 August 2026.
