The Power of Open RAN: O-RAN All G Open RAN Solutions

hello and welcome to the parallel wireless's algae oran demo my name is pura oza and i'm part of parallel wireless's systems engineering team in the agenda today we have market trends and we'll talk about the market potential for open brand a look at the architecture and products then we'll deep dive into the ology deployment architecture and scenarios we'll also talk about open rand use cases and then finally we'll talk about customer successes and stories move to open ram is driven by 5g and network modernization due to an increase in the amount of traffic resulting from better devices newer applications faster connections and even generous data plans a complete paradigm shift is required for mobile networks while 3gbp does an excellent job of defining these new flexible standards separating the user and control planes keeping the different implementation options open organizations like the orion alliance have an important role in bringing the industry together to create a more software-based virtualized flexible intelligent and energy efficient network the current or legacy network design cannot scale in terms of performance and cost to support increasing end user expectations to provide quality and consistent experiences with advanced services and use cases such as iot seamless mobility and 4g 5g applications network modernization is the need of the hour and this is where an allg open random compliant solution steps in in the following slides we will talk about legacy ryan deployment versus openran deployments as well as parallel wireless's cloud native software based all g open ran solution mnos are facing challenges such as diminishing our flag revenue arpu increasing capex on opex to move to newer technologies inefficient ways of running networks and increasing end user expectations while comparing legacy deployments and new open-end deployments we can see that simply by implementing openran we introduce a huge impact into the network architecture one of the main differentiators come from unifying the radio plus baseband and implementing multirac technologies being able to support all g-rack using the same ru and du is critical for the success of this enhancement parallel wireless is committed to support all g which includes 2g 3g 4g 5g and facilitate seamless network improvements to both green field and brownfield networks this

g open rand solution truly enables an open disaggregated and vendor agnostic ecosystem the components of firewireless's open-end architecture provide operators freedom to rapidly deliver new revenue streams with a variety of open ran hardware advanced receivers beam forming and edge core services all while being anchored by paralysis network intelligence parallel wireless is fully committed to supporting and following the open rand standards and definitions the architecture illustrated here show how para wireless is building end-to-end solution architecture from the cell side to the rig and the non-rt rig located in one of the aggregation points our solution is comprised of three main components working together to provide our unified and open architecture the first is our openran rrh hardware from a variety of ecosystem partners and a cots vbvu that can provide enhanced capacity or enable carrier aggregation at a much lower cost the second is the pw aggregator and open run controller software suite which consolidates all necessary functionalities and all g's to build expand or densify the ram this includes x2 gateway small cell gateway security gateway wi-fi gateways our open rank controller software also includes our edge core or virtual epc which can be brought into a local or a distributed deployment the combination of power wireless's open range software suite and edge core will reduce network complexity while improving performance and efficiency it also most importantly provides an easy path towards overall 5g network migration the third and final component which anchors our solution is paravirus's automation and orchestration software module which provides sound functionality to enable self-configuration self-optimization self-healing during deployment resulting in quick and easy rollouts interference mitigation by our open-end software simplifies the network expansions by providing ease of expansion and scale our entire product offering is software upgradable thus removing the cost and complexity of transitioning the networks to 5g architecture and products para wireless's software-based solution is vendor agnostic and allows mobile operators to choose different splits based on use case requirement and morphology on the same hardware and network components this approach will dramatically reduce the cost of operations and ownership for mobile operators para wireless's dynamic ram du cu split architecture is flexible where one can select any traffic split based on the deployment use case for capacity and coverage operators can base their deployment split architecture on morphology and infrastructure availability for outdoor or indoor coverage or capacity deployment scenarios delivering flexibility where the operator can select any traffic split based on the deployment use case interoperability where parallel wireless's open brand network solution allows mobile operators to pick and choose different hardware to get the best performance at a much lower cost lowest total cost of ownership where operators can use different software implementations on the same ran hardware thereby significantly reducing the cost of operations and ownership here we can see a quick snapshot of comparison of the key features and benefits of a softwareized all g solution open interfaces enable supplier diversity service agility and cloud-scale economics an all-g software platform allows smooth migration to 5g cudu software on vbu and flexibility to choose different rank splits such as split 7.2 or split 8 on the same quartz-based hardware allows operators to prepare networks suited for dense urban environments split 7.2 will be best approach going forward for deploying future mobile networks in different deployment scenarios it is ideal for 4g and 5g and can support traffic in dense urban areas openland solution is software based solution with open interfaces supported that can be hosted on general purpose carts based hardware rrus can be bought from odm oem hardware vendors general purpose caught servers can be used to host the baseband processing software based components this leads to reduced capex open interfaces hardware software disaggregation avoids vendor locking scalable solution agile and flexible 5g upgradable and reduced opex due to an increase in the amount of traffic resulting from better devices newer applications faster connections and even generous data plans a complete paradigm shift is required for mobile networks while 3gpp does an excellent job of defining these new flexible standards separating their user and controller planes and keeping the different implementation options open organizations like the oran alliance have an important role in bringing the industry together to create a more software-based virtualized flexible intelligent and energy efficient network paravirus's software-based wireless solutions drive the transformation of ran towards cloudified and software driven deployments and operations lowering overall total cost of ownership for multi-rack all ge solutions parallel wireless is g all-g-o-ran solution complies with 3gpp
