What NetWorks does
NetWorks sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based telecommunications infrastructure management company founded in 2010 (with operational roots tracing to the 1990s Polish mobile revolution) and operating as a private limited company with share capital of 30 million PLN. The company provides planning, construction, maintenance, and optimization of mobile telecommunications networks — spanning GSM/UMTS/LTE/5G RAN, radio transmission, and fiber — through a B2B managed-services model that is the operational backbone of the shared mobile network arrangement between Orange Polska and T-Mobile Polska in Poland. NetWorks operates a 24/7 Network Operations Center for real-time monitoring, deploys 5G infrastructure using GIS and drone-based terrain analysis, and is developing FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System) as a 5G-based replacement for GSM-R with PKP.
NetWorks is affiliated with two global telecom groups — Deutsche Telekom and Orange — which function as both parent ecosystem and customer base; the company also serves Deutsche Funkturm, PKP (railway), Energa (energy), and Belgian partner MWingz through its mWorld international operational tools project. Revenue is generated through managed services and project-based professional services under custom B2B contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company employs 501–1,000 staff across 33 outlets and regional offices in Warsaw, Poznań, Gdańsk, and Katowice, and was awarded Forbes Diamonds 2026 for fastest-growing enterprise value. Leadership consists of founder and CEO Maciej Zengel.

NetWorks competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Huawei: Huawei is a major global provider of mobile network equipment and managed network services. It competes with NetWorks across rollout and operations services, though its European footprint has narrowed due to regulatory restrictions.
- Ericsson: Ericsson is a global RAN vendor and managed services provider serving Orange and Deutsche Telekom worldwide. It overlaps with NetWorks across network rollout, optimization, and managed services, but operates at global scale rather than in Poland specifically.
- ZTE: ZTE delivers end-to-end telecom network solutions and managed services globally. It is a broad comparable for NetWorks' deployment and operations work, especially in markets where ZTE holds operator contracts.
- Nokia: Nokia provides mobile network equipment and network management services globally, including to Orange Group. It competes broadly with NetWorks in the same managed-services category but at much larger scale and with equipment-bundled offerings.
- Cellnex Telecom: Cellnex is Europe's largest independent tower and passive telecom infrastructure operator. While NetWorks is service-oriented and Cellnex is asset-oriented, both operate in the European telecom infrastructure layer adjacent to MNOs.
Regional players
- Emitel: Emitel is a Polish telecom infrastructure operator providing broadcast, radio communications, and MNO infrastructure services. It shares the Polish telecom infrastructure services market with NetWorks and serves similar operator customers.
- Exatel: Exatel is a Polish telecommunications operator offering fiber, managed network, and data services to enterprise and government clients. It overlaps with NetWorks in Polish network services and infrastructure operations.
Emerging players
- Comarch: Comarch is a Polish IT/telecom software and services vendor with OSS/BSS and network management offerings. It is comparable to NetWorks in serving telecom operators from Poland with adjacent network operations software capability.
- Atende: Atende is a Polish ICT services and data center provider serving telco and enterprise clients. It offers comparable managed network and infrastructure services in the same Polish market as NetWorks, though with broader enterprise focus.
Direct peers
- T-Mobile Infra (Deutsche Funkturm): Deutsche Funkturm is Deutsche Telekom's infrastructure subsidiary managing tower and network assets in Germany. It is the closest functional peer to NetWorks in the Deutsche Telekom group, sharing the parent and operating model of integrated telecom infrastructure management.
