Parallel Wireless is leading the disruption in the industry with deployments 
and innovations in Open RAN, including the world's first network architecture 
that unifies all mobile connectivity standards -- 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G & Wi-Fi -- 
under the same software umbrella. Together with a broad ecosystem of partners, 
Parallel Wireless can enable MNOs to deploy leading edge networks, while 
reducing costs and complexity and growing revenues.

This ecosystem of partners is customer-driven and focuses on assembling viable 
solutions that build on an open and modular architecture, leveraging input from 
top worldwide operators leading the Open RAN movement such as Vodafone (

). At Mobile World Congress Parallel Wireless will showcase how this can be 
replicated on a global level to hasten operators roll-out of Open RAN and 5G. 

Parallel Wireless is working with a broad ecosystem of partners to deliver 
rapid innovation across hardware and software domains. Reimagine Today with the 
Vision of Tomorrow is the Parallel Wireless theme for this year's event with 
two sub-themes of Deploy and Innovate. Our leading-edge demos with our broad 
ecosystem of partners includes:

DEPLOY

    -- Enabling All Gs with Open RAN: Visit our ALL G demo to learn how you 
       can deploy O-RAN compliant, cloud-native, Open RAN across 2G, 3G, 4G 
       networks. We will showcase the most advanced Open RAN CU and DU 
       software with partners such as Red Hat, 6Wind, Whitestack, Dell and 
       HP. Our solutions include a leading edge, mature Open RAN ecosystem 
       for 7.2 radios with partners such as Comba Telecom and GigaTera 
       Communications. We also partner with server hardware suppliers such as 
       Supermicro and Silicom Ltd. Connectivity Solutions with Intel's 
       Xeon(R) x86 platform and we are part of Facebook's TIP Open RAN group. 

    -- Open RAN reduces TCO: At our TCO demo you will learn how Open RAN 
       solutions can reduce your overall network Total Cost of Ownership 
       (TCO). We will showcase how Capital Expense (CapEx) savings are 
       enabled by utilizing software and hardware from a broad ecosystem of 
       partners, including commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware powered 
       with self-configuration tools. And with Operating Expenses (OpEx) at 
       70% of overall TCO, MNOs will learn how by utilizing Open RAN 
       technology, expenses can be cut in half. 

INNOVATE

    -- New Services Faster with Automation: Visit our automation demo to 
       learn how cloud-native state-of-the-art features such as RAN 
       automation, self-configuration, hands free software testing, 
       integration and delivery, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine 
       Learning (ML) enable scalability, flexibility, and innovation with the 
       ability to launch new services faster. With cloud-native automation 
       tools with partners such as Red Hat, you will reap the benefits of not 
       only flexibility of choice and cost savings, but also the agility, 
       scalability and ease of management and upgradability that comes with 
       the Open RAN promise. 

    -- Maintain Legacy and Upgrade to 5G and beyond: MNO's are often faced 
       with maintaining legacy networks, 2G, 3G, 4G while planning their 
       migration path to 5G and beyond. With our software driven solutions, 
       supporting multiple Gs from the same COTS server, innovation and 
       upgradeability is seamless and efficient. Visit this demo to learn how 
       you can upgrade your networks to 5G and beyond while continuing to 
       support 2G, 3G, and 4G legacy networks.

Also be sure to join the panel session on Monday, June 28th as Eugina Jordan,

)". 

In addition, Parallel Wireless is proud to be selected as a nominee for the 
2021 GSMA Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) in the category of 'Best Mobile 
Technology Breakthrough' for our Parallel Wireless All G - 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G Urban 
Macro Open RAN solution. The Award winners will be announced at MWC21 Barcelona 
on Wednesday, June 30th at 12 noon CET ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3186649-1&h=1465344866&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fevents%2Flivefrommwc21-the2021globalmobi6800777257578176512%2F&a=Wednesday%2C+June+30th+at+12+noon+CET 
). 

We look forward to seeing you soon in Barcelona!

Keith Johnson, President at Parallel Wireless said "One of the key topics of 
conversation at MWC will be how, with the continued roll-out of 5G, the 
economics of the mobile industry have to change. Years of consolidation have 
left the telecoms industry with just a couple of Radio Access Network (RAN) 
technology vendor giants. The telecom industry is demanding networks that are 
open and flexible so that they can reduce deployment and maintenance costs. We 
are pleased to be working with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), O-RAN Alliance 
and Open Compute Project to enable a broad open ecosystem of disaggregated RAN 
solutions using vendor-neutral hardware and software-defined technology based 
on open interfaces and community-developed standards."
