Parallel Wireless to show Open RAN technology
Parallel Wireless will showcase next-generation innovations in Open RAN covering All G technology – 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. The first All G Open RAN lowers total cost of ownership (TCO), and enables Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to optimize and automate while enhancing user experiences.
Open RAN, the movement in wireless telecommunications to disaggregate hardware and software, to open interfaces and reduce costs is taking off. According to Dell’Oro Group, cumulative Open RAN revenue from 2020 to 2025 could be as high as $15 billion, with Open RAN revenues accounting for more than 10% of the overall RAN market by 2025.
With the theme ‘The Future of RAN is Open’ at MWC 2022, Parallel Wireless will demonstrate the following innovations in Open RAN networks with their best-in-class ecosystem of partners.
All G Open RAN
The Reimagine Networks demo will provide a live interactive display of the world-leading cloud-native Open RAN form Parallel Wireless that supports multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) – 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. The state-of-the art, end-to-end All G Open RAN with open interfaces supports an ecosystem of best-in-class partners such as Supermicro, HPE, and Dell all utilizing Intel x86 processing power and radios from Comba Telecom and GigaTera Communications, enabling MNOs to reimagine their networks, reducing their overall TCO while creating a seamless migration path to 5G.
5G Open RAN
A live, interactive demonstration of 5G Open RAN, Scale and Innovate connects to 5G Standalone (SA) which allows MNOs to effectively migrate from 4G networks with a scalable, low cost, future-proof, flexible, standards-based network enabling 8k streaming video, Industry 4.0, autonomous driving and other innovative 5G applications. 5G SA is the best option for Open RAN networks, as it is not dependent on 4G equipment and can deliver the capacity needed. With 5G Open RAN, the network is simplified with 5G radios complemented by next-generation open core network products from partners such as Athonet and Microsoft. 5G Open RAN enables MNOs to gain access to new capabilities, markets, and revenue opportunities.
Open RAN RIC
Enhancing user experiences, the cloud-native Open RAN demo supports the O-RAN Alliance’s leading-edge RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) framework. The Parallel Wireless Open RAN interworking with a leading-edge RIC framework from partner Juniper Networks will illustrate how MNOs can increase new revenue opportunities, strengthen end-user retention with enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) and reduce both Capital Expenses (CapEx) and Operating Expenses (OpEx) while enabling 4G and 5G services. Networks are getting ever more complex, and the RIC brings predictive self-optimization and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)-informed decision making to operator networks. The RIC puts MNOs in the ‘driver’s seat’ with new capabilities including admission control, traffic steering and more that enable them to intelligently manage and optimize resources.
Predictive AI/ML
The Automate and Optimize demo aims tom show the power of automated operations, especially in dense urban network scenarios, which helps to lower power consumption thus reducing OpEx. With automation tools such as AI and ML, MNOs have the agility and power to match flexible and ever-changing network demands easily. AI and ML are imperative cloud-native automation tools needed to provide intelligent management and operations for the network demands of today and tomorrow.
