The first phase of the commercial rollout consists of connecting 1,000 to 2,000 end users until the end of the year.

Mr. Marcin Bodnar, CEO of Pattern Communications stated: Commencing commercial operations became possible thanks to our very successful technical tests with Main.nets PLUS on seven different grid infrastructures. The results were so positive, that we wasted no time in proceeding to a full-scale commercial rollout. Currently we have begun commercial activities in cooperation with Zakład Energetyczny Kraków, and we expect to sign more commercial contracts with our other testing partners, where they provide access to the electricity grid and we are the service operator."
