Regulation on Free Telecommunication Devices During Crisis

The regulation establishes a new framework for the gratuitous provision of telecommunications devices and radio equipment during situations of special threat (crisis situations). It sets out detailed procedural requirements for how these devices are to be made available to affected parties and specifies the manner of their subsequent return.

Telecommunications firms and government agencies involved in emergency response should review internal procedures to ensure alignment with the new requirements. Companies operating in Poland that may be called upon to provide or facilitate telecommunications equipment during crisis situations should monitor implementation guidance and establish appropriate protocols for compliance with device provision and return procedures.
