Benefits to Mobile Operators

• Cloud native and software-based 2G solution to:
•• Simplify network operations of 2G expansion and provide a cost-effective path for operators’ network
upgrade to 3G or 4G/5G in the future without any additional hardware
•• Allow modernization of existing 2G networks
• Full SON capabilities through the automation software module; real-time optimization and self-heal-
ing, and turning RAN sites off at non-peak hours for power saving – al done through HNG resulting
in maintenance and optimization cost reduction
• Lowest TCO
•• Lowest Site CAPEX
•• Needs fewer solar panels or batteries, so overall site cost is reduced
•• Can be installed on poles or existing and exposed structures due to lighter wind load
•• Flexible backhaul (whatever is available today or might become available tomorrow)
•• COTS vBBU with shared capacity for throughput and capacity
•• Reduced OPEX
•• Software-defined RAN hardware that is easily upgradable to any future G on the same original investment
•• Easy and cost-effective installation and maintenance through self-configuration and full automation via software
•• Lowest power consumption for single or multi-mode operation
•• Enables tower consolidation to save on OPEX
• Addresses low ARPU and extends 2G investment
•• When the end users are ready to upgrade to 3G or 4G, the 2G investment can be extended to provide those services
• Variety of deployment scenarios for greenfield 2G or expanding existing 2G footprint at much lower
cost (urban, rural, suburban, mobile black spots, etc.)
Summary
Parallel Wireless’s unique cloud-native multi-technology solution helps to deliver coverage by making
deployments easy and affordable to install, maintain and to upgrade to any G without any additional hardware.
Parallel Wireless’s 2G solution is a low-cost, low-footprint, low-power multi-technology coverage solution that
allows operators to extend their initial 2G investment when they are ready to upgrade to 3G, 4G, or 5G.
