What WiRan does

WiRan is a Poland-based hardware design office and R&D-as-a-Service (R&DaaS) provider specializing in RF/microwave engineering, wireless connectivity, and space-grade electronics. Founded in 2002 and headquartered at the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park (PPNT) in Gdynia, the company operates with a team of 30+ engineers, all graduates of Gdańsk University of Technology's Faculty of Electronics. Its core offering spans the full project lifecycle — from technical specification and feasibility studies through to working prototypes and EMC precertification — delivered as professional services to enterprise and government clients across four primary verticals: space (CubeSat-class RF components for ESA programs), maritime and defense (telemetry, antenna systems, EMC analysis), railway (in-train WiFi and antenna distribution for PESA and Solaris), and IoT (the proprietary SEZO sensor line supporting LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M).

The technical foundation rests on in-house capital-intensive infrastructure including a 3x3x4.5m Faraday cage, a climatic chamber operating from -40°C to 180°C, Keysight vector network and spectrum analyzers covering up to 43.5 GHz, and an ISO 7 certified cleanroom used for space-grade assembly. WiRan's space product line — S-band and X-band diplexers, antennas, splitters, couplers, and test caps designed for CubeSat platforms — meets the ECSS-E-ST-50-05C European space standard, with two products in advanced development (a 5W corona-free S-band diplexer and a 100W Ku-band dual polarization filter). EMC testing services cover IEC 61000-4-2 through 61000-4-8 standards plus military-grade NO-06-A500 and MIL-STD-461G compliance.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: professional services (R&DaaS projects, IoT engineering, EMC testing, and laboratory rental via the ELAB platform), hardware sales of the SEZO IoT product line, and EU grant co-funding for R&D development projects totaling approximately 9.02M PLN across five disclosed grants between 2019 and 2026. Distribution is exclusively direct B2B with no consumer or e-commerce channels; sales are engineering-led and supplemented by trade show participation across European and American space sector events. The company has been founder-managed since 2010 (when it regained full Polish ownership after a period as Spinner Polska), remains privately held with no external equity capital, and is led by CEO and co-founder Maciej Król alongside CTO Robert Stefański and COO Adrian Klarecki.

Core offering

WiRan is a hardware design office and R&D-as-a-Service (R&DaaS) provider specializing in RF/microwave and wireless communication technologies. The company delivers end-to-end electronic product development—from technical specifications and feasibility studies through to working prototypes—covering RF design, IoT integration (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M), firmware development, EMC testing, and electromagnetic simulations. Its commercial offerings include the SEZO IoT sensor product family and a line of space-grade RF components (L/S/X-band antennas, diplexers, splitters, couplers) for CubeSat-class satellites, complemented by EMC precertification and laboratory services.

Product overview

WiRan is a hardware design office and R&D as a Service (R&DaaS) provider, not a single unified software product. The portfolio consists of two main product lines: (1) the SEZO (Sensor Zone) IoT product sub-brand — a family of low-power, long-range environmental monitoring and tracking devices supporting LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M — and (2) a suite of Space/RF products comprising band-split components (antennas, diplexers, splitters, couplers) across L-band, S-band, and X-band frequencies, primarily targeting CubeSat-class nano and microsatellites, with some products still under development. These are complemented by laboratory services including in-house EMC testing (Faraday cage, climatic chamber, network and spectrum analyzers), an ISO 7 certified CleanRoom, and ELAB laboratory rental. R&D services cover full product lifecycle from feasibility study to prototype, including RF design, IoT integration, and EMC consulting. All SEZO devices share connectivity to the Orange Live Objects platform and can be customized per client requirements.
