What Wojskowe Zaklady Lacznosci Nr 2 does

Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 2 S.A. (WZŁ-2 S.A.) is a Polish state-owned defense communications integrator headquartered in Czernica near Wrocław, with origins dating to December 1961 and a current corporate form as a joint-stock company since 1 April 2008. It is wholly owned by Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ), the Polish state defense holding, and operates from a single manufacturing site at ul. Fabryczna 12 in Czernica with 101–250 employees. A wholly owned subsidiary, Górski Kompleks Turystyczny "Czeszka i Słowaczka" in Świeradów-Zdrój, runs an unrelated mountain resort and hospitality business.

The company designs, manufactures, integrates, and modernizes tactical military communications and command-and-control equipment. Its product portfolio centers on vehicle-mounted HF/VHF/UHF radio systems based on L3Harris/Harris hardware (RF-5800H-MP and PR4G families), automated command vehicles (IRYS-2000, FR-21A), mobile command post modules (MMSD), electromagnetically shielded containers for classified information processing (KSE 15-100-CZ), multichannel radio access stations (AWRS), radio coupling blocks (BSR), digital telecommunications switches (CUT-1M), and electroacoustic broadcasting systems (REA, RP-1, REA-UR BARYTON). Supporting infrastructure includes ruggedized terminals, 1.5–20 kW generator sets, network switches, the RK-16 call recorder, and onboard power supplies. The company holds Industrial Security Certificates for SECRET, NATO SECRET, and EU SECRET levels, AQAP 2110:2016, ISO 9001:2015, a Koncesja for defense manufacturing, and the NATO Cryptologic Chamber designation.

WZŁ-2 operates an exclusively B2G go-to-market model, selling directly to the Polish Ministry of National Defence, the Inspectorate of Armament, Regional Logistics Bases, and sister PGZ companies through formal public procurement. Its revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales (e.g., the 53.49 million PLN contract for 233 digital radio stations, the 43 million PLN AOAS contract for 13 contamination-analysis stations, the ~11 million PLN BARYTON contract), recurring maintenance and training services as the sole authorized L3Harris service and training center in Poland, and offset-driven technology transfer benefits from its 2006 and 2013 Harris agreements (over USD 68 million in offset obligations). On 30 October 2025 shareholders approved a merger into PGZ affiliate PIT-RADWAR S.A., with court registration completed on 29 December 2025.
