Parallel Wireless, Inc., a leader in connecting things and people at home, work, play and in emergencies with end-to-end 2G, 3G, and 4G Open RAN solutions by making deployments as easy and as cost-effective as Wi-Fi, and Telefónica, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, today announced that they successfully completed a technology pilot based on Parallel Wireless programmable and Open RAN to connect remote communities in LatAm with mobile broadband as part of Telefónica’s initiative “Internet Para Todos”.

 

The multiple locations in the region benefited from 3G and 4G wireless connectivity based on General Purpose Processing platforms. Two different solutions provided by Parallel Wireless were deployed:

 

  • Converged Wireless System (CWS) is a base station built with Commodity off the Shelf (COTS) components that integrates 3G and 4G access in the same form factor.

 

  • HetNet Gateway (HNG) is a carrier-grade software platform that enables an Open RAN architecture by using standard-based and open interfaces between network components to simplify network management and integration of new RAN products into the core of the network.

 

The settlements used the full SDR capability of the Parallel Wireless Open RAN technology to provide data and voice services over both 3G and 4G technology to thousands of clients. The pilot has validated the maturity of these technologies to provide a cost-effective connectivity in low density areas, getting a voice growth of 12% per month and Circuit Switch Fall Back (CSFB) success call rate of 99%. 3G/4G traffic benefited from the technology’s intelligent packet processing to deliver over 10GB per settlement of daily 3G and 4G data traffic. Each cell availability stood at 99% with Parallel Wireless HNG delivering 100% intra frequency mobility success rate that ensured the highest Quality of Experience for end users.
