How does collaboration between Germany and Poland work for IoT projects?

Germany and Poland share the CET/CEST time zone and the EU single market. This enables real-time collaboration, customs-free hardware shipping, and coordinated remote commissioning.

Can I use IoT hosting from Germany for sites in Poland?

Yes. The platform runs on German infrastructure, data is transmitted via MQTT/HTTPS from sensors and gateways in Poland. Latency within Europe is minimal (~20-40ms). For on-premise requirements, we also deploy on Polish infrastructure.

How does hardware shipping to Poland work?

Both countries are in the EU -- no customs, no import duties. We ship pre-configured sensors and gateways directly from Germany or from European distributors. Delivery typically takes 2-3 business days.

Can you also host on Polish infrastructure?

Yes. We deploy IoT platforms on any infrastructure -- whether German servers, Polish data centers or on-premise in your facility. The architecture is identical regardless of location.

Which LoRaWAN frequencies apply in Poland?

Poland uses the EU868 frequency plan (868 MHz) -- identical to Germany and the rest of Europe. This is a major advantage: the same sensors and gateways work in both countries without any reconfiguration.

Do we need separate hardware for Poland and Germany?

No. Both countries use EU868, so the same LoRaWAN sensors and gateways work identically in Poland and Germany. One hardware inventory, one configuration -- deploy in either country.

Is GDPR compliance straightforward for IoT projects in Poland?

Yes. Both countries are EU members and subject to GDPR. Data flows freely within the EU. Whether hosting is in Germany or Poland, GDPR compliance is the same.

Can existing SCADA/PLC systems in Polish factories be integrated?

Yes. We integrate existing SCADA and PLC systems via OPC-UA, Modbus or MQTT into the IoT platform. Brownfield integration in automotive and manufacturing environments is our standard.

Which IoT platforms do you use for projects in Poland?

Our standard stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard for device management and dashboards, Grafana for visualization and Node-RED for data flow automation.

Which industries in Poland do you serve with IoT solutions?

Automotive & Manufacturing, Logistics & Warehousing, Energy & Utilities, Agriculture and IT & Technology. Our platforms are industry-agnostic and configurable for any vertical.

Do you have experience with Poland's special economic zones?

We understand that many industrial clients in Poland operate within special economic zones (SSE). Our IoT solutions integrate with existing factory infrastructure regardless of location -- the deployment model stays the same.

How large does a project need to be to work with you?

We work from PoC (Proof of Concept) with a few sensors to multi-site installations with thousands of devices. Starting with a small pilot project in one factory or warehouse is absolutely possible.

What does IoT hosting for Polish projects cost?

Costs depend on the platform, number of devices and desired service level. We provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees -- regardless of whether hosting is in Germany or Poland.

How quickly can an IoT platform for Poland go live?

The timeline depends on the platform, device count, radio planning, data paths, integrations, and operating model. After the technical assessment, you receive a rollout plan with prerequisites, dependencies, and milestones.

Is there a minimum contract term?

The minimum term and notice period depend on the operating model and project scope. Both are stated transparently in the proposal.

IoT Infrastructure for Poland.

Poland's rapidly growing industrial base -- automotive, manufacturing, logistics -- demands IoT solutions that are scalable, production-ready and easy to integrate. As your German neighbor on the same frequency band and in the same time zone, we deliver exactly that.

IoT

End-to-End IoT for the Polish Market

From architecture through platform development to managed hosting -- we support IoT projects in Poland across the entire lifecycle. Same time zone, same LoRaWAN frequency, no barriers.

Neighboring Country Advantage
Germany and Poland share a border, a time zone (CET/CEST) and the EU868 frequency band. Collaboration is as seamless as a domestic project.
Identical Hardware
EU868 means the same sensors and gateways work in both countries. No re-certification, no frequency adjustments -- deploy the same hardware across Germany and Poland.
EU-Based & privacy-focused
Both countries are EU members. GDPR applies equally, data flows freely within the EU and compliance is straightforward.

Client feedback and projects worldwide

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
