What Korbank does

Korbank (legal entity: KORBANK Media Cyfrowe Sp. z o.o.) is a regional Polish telecommunications operator headquartered in Wrocław, founded in 1992 and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange NewConnect market since February 2011 under the ticker wse:KOR. The company delivers fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband, digital IPTV, mobile 5G subscriptions, gaming-optimized internet, smart home (HOMS) integration, and B2B telecommunications services across six Polish cities — Wrocław, Radom, Szczecin, Puławy, Brzeg Dolny, and Gryfino — over a self-owned 1,000+ km fiber optic backbone.

The company is built on two proprietary technology assets: the AVIOS IPTV platform, which delivers 250+ TV channels and is licensed to approximately 300 Polish telecom operators serving their own subscriber bases, and the KORBOX Android-based IPTV set-top box (the first of its kind globally when launched in 2011), which integrates TV decoding with WiFi routing, VoIP gateway, and HOMS smart home capabilities and is sold across Europe. Under the k.pl sub-brand, Korbank also offers VPS hosting, Ceph-based S3 object storage, VPN, and backup services for business customers.

Korbank's revenue model is predominantly subscription-based, anchored on 24-month residential FTTH + IPTV bundles priced at 40–90 PLN/month (with aggressive 1 PLN/month promotional intro rates) and supported by B2B contracts (VPN, video conferencing, city monitoring) and a long-tenured municipal contract with Wrocław Municipality's educational units dating to 2013. Distribution runs through direct field sales at residential developments, online self-service ordering, six local customer service offices, and a referral program, while the company pursues geographic growth by extending fiber into new residential estates and additional cities, partly subsidized through the EU-funded Polish National Recovery Plan (KPO).
