In this webinar, you will learn about the power of Parallel Wireless Open RAN and automated operations, especially in dense urban network scenarios, which helps MNOs to lower power consumption thus reducing OpEx. With automation tools such as AI and ML, operators have the agility, flexibility, and power to easily address ever-changing network demands. AI and ML are imperative cloud-native automation tools needed to provide intelligent management and operations for the network demands of today and tomorrow.

How to Automate Operations Predictive AI/ML and Open RAN

Join this webinar to learn about the Parallel Wireless cloud-native Open RAN solution, which supports the O-RAN Alliance’s leading-edge RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) framework. We 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. The RIC puts MNOs in the ‘driver’s seat’ with new capabilities including admission control, traffic steering, intercell interference coordination, energy savings and more that enable them to intelligently manage and optimize resources.

Using Open RAN RIC to Enhance User Experiences

In this webinar, learn about the world leading, cloud-native Parallel Wireless Open RAN solution that supports multi-RAT – that’s 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. Our state-of-the art, end-to-end All G Open RAN solution with open interfaces supports an ecosystem of best-in-class partners, enabling Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to reimagine their networks, reduce their overall TCO and create a seamless migration path to 5G.

Reimagine Your Network with Parallel Wireless All G Open RAN

Join us for a quick session highlighting the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2022. Zahid Ghadialy, our Senior Director, Technology & Innovation Strategy will share expectations and trends, including announcements and industry news, that we could expect during the conference. Michelle Grens, Senior Manager Product Marketing, will also share a glimpse into what Parallel Wireless will demonstrate at our booth. If you’re as excited for MWC22 as we are, this chat will offer fun and interesting information before the conference.

Trends and Expectations for MWC Barcelona 2022

According to GSMA Mobile Economy Report there will be almost half a billion unique mobile subscribers in LATAM by 2025. There will be approximately 60 million new subscribers by 2025 with ½ coming from Brazil and Mexico. 4G will surpass 50% of all connections in the region in 2020 and 5G will reach almost 10% of the population by 2025. Wireless infrastructure is largely deployed in LATAM, however there are several geographies in the continent that are lacking coverage. Wireless internet is the only way to connect end-users, yet new infrastructure is required which is often expensive. Data is super important to end users, the throughput users will generate and require is significant. 
Parallel Wireless, Inc., the U.S.-based Open RAN software company is delivering the world’s leading cloud-native, All G - 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G - Open RAN solutions which are agile, flexible, and easily scalable.  With software at the centre of the Open RAN network Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in LATAM will have unprecedented opportunities to bring down complexity, enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. Parallel Wireless solutions have been deployed with many MNOs from across the globe and throughout the LATAM region. 
For any LATAM MNO that would like to see Parallel Wireless Open RAN platforms in action, we will be participating in the TIP Field Program at INATEL University in Brazil, in partnership with TIP, TIM Brazil and INATEL. This Program will be described further during the webinar.

Open RAN Enabling Wireless Networks in LATAM - 2022 and Beyond

Urbanization is transforming the world. According to the 2017 Drivers of Migration and Urbanization in Africa report by the United Nations, more than half of the global population now lives in urban areas. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is often regarded as the world's fastest urbanizing region. The continent’s population is quickly approaching one billion people with 60% of its inhabitants under the age of 30. It is an exciting time as technology has begun to extend its reach to all people on the continent. At the dawn of the 21st century, Africa had roughly 17 million mobile subscriptions; today, more than 380 million Sub-Saharan African inhabitants own a mobile phone. The telecommunications revolution has also sparked transformation in other sectors such as financial services, healthcare, energy and many more. MNOs are looking to upgrade their networks and cost, coverage, and service delivery, are among the highest priorities for telecoms operators in Africa.  Parallel Wireless’s Open RAN solution has been trialed and proven in rural deployments, which is a natural and necessary pre-requisite for enabling the superset of features required for urban network scenarios. The Parallel Wireless solution is built on 3GPP and O-RAN Alliance standards and is now an urban-ready, innovative, cost-efficient, cloud-native, 2G, 3G, and 4G Open RAN solution which provides a smooth migration path to 5G and beyond and delivers the features and capabilities necessary for strong network performance in high-capacity urban environments. Join this session to learn more about our Parallel Wireless Urban Macro Open RAN Solution!

How Urban-Ready Open RAN Will Benefit Sub-Saharan Africa

Learn how Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can upgrade their networks to 5G and beyond while continuing to support 2G, 3G, and 4G legacy networks. With an Open RAN network architecture from Parallel Wireless, MNOs can utilize open and non-proprietary hardware and software, allowing them to benefit from cloud-scale economies and service agility – enabling all devices, anywhere and supporting all use cases from rural to urban environments.

We will also share customer deployment case studies.

O-RAN Compliant All G Open RAN Solutions

Did you know Operating Expenses (OpEx) are 70% of overall network TCO? In this session, learn how Parallel Wireless’s Open RAN solutions can reduce overall network Total Cost of Ownership, including how to cut expenses in half with Open RAN technology. We will showcase how CapEx savings are enabled by utilizing software and hardware from a broad ecosystem of partners. We will demonstrate how network upgrades are easily enabled with automation tools, how AI/ML provides hands-free optimization of network to reduce or eliminate site visit costs, and how Open RAN equipment reduces power consumption thus delivering significant OpEx savings. Finally, our speakers will share real life network deployments and how Parallel Wireless Open RAN solutions have enabled cost savings in both rural and urban wireless network deployments.

Reduce TCO and Create a Smooth Migration Path to 5G with ALL G Open RAN

Learn how cloud-native automation tools such as Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enable the creation of scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments. When cloud-native becomes a key feature of an ALL G, Open RAN solution, MNOs benefit from not only flexibility of choice and cost savings, but also agility, scalability and the ease of management/upgradability that comes with the Open RAN promise.
