The Parallel Wireless approach gives mobile operators the flexibility to choose any original device manufacturer (ODM) CAP hardware that utilises the Intel Transcede small cell system on a chip (SoC), resulting in lower hardware CAPEX. As these hardware reference designs combine 3G, 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi functions in a single footprint, using common network connectivity and power, the installation and maintenance process is significantly simplified.
Orchestration and elastic scheduling, interference management, traffic prioritisation, and other enterprise-grade security features on the HetNet Gateway (HNG) from Parallel Wireless make these “white box” CAPs easy and cost-effective to install and maintain. The Parallel Wireless fully virtualised HetNet Gateway takes advantages of hardware and software advances from Intel, including Intel Xeon processor-based servers. These advances enable the delivery of a high-performance, fully-virtualised enterprise RAN on standard high-volume servers.
In particular, these new capabilities and associated performance gains enable seamless mobility for enterprise customers, while supporting not only multi-technology, but also multi-operator and multi-core capabilities. HNG has all the network function virtualisation (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) functionality needed to orchestrate enterprise vRANs, and no additional gateways are required for integration with the macro network nor to anchor the enterprise cells into the core network.
Steve Papa, founder and CEO, Parallel Wireless, said, “Parallel Wireless has developed the industry’s first scalable, low-cost, high-performance enterprise vRAN solution enabled by key Intel technologies. We are excited to work closely with Intel and its ecosystem partners Alpha Networks, and additional partners to be announced in upcoming weeks, to introduce a solution for enterprises of any size at one-tenth of the cost of currently-available enterprise small cell solutions. Instead of days, deployment takes just a few hours, and doesn’t require radio frequency (RF) planning or extensive system integration, as Parallel Wireless HetNet Gateway makes enterprise vRAN not only self-configuring, but self-optimising, and self-healing. Our Enterprise vRAN solution is now being deployed by operators in the enterprise.”
Naser Adas, GM, Heterogeneous Network Solutions Group at Intel, said, “By expanding its portfolio based on Intel technology, Parallel Wireless is addressing the enterprise segment with a scalable, flexible, and high-performance architecture that serves the enterprise across heterogeneous network technologies, from Wi-Fi to cellular small cell solutions.”
