Vice President Research And Development at Parallel Wireless, Sep 2016 - Aug 2022 · 6 yrs, India, At Parallel Wireless, we are reimagining the RAN as the only provider of LTE solutions that are as easy to deploy and maintain as Wi-Fi. Whether macro, metro, rural, small cell, public safety or enterprise, we are reimagining how to accelerate the LTE access network build out while paving the road to 5G HetNets. This world-first technology, based on the LTE Access Controller, uses open fully 3GPP-compliant interfaces, allows real-time network orchestration, supports new services, and reduces the time/cost to build, optimize, secure, and evolve the RAN/EPC. At Parallel Wireless, we are reimagining the cellular RAN as the only provider of wide-area distributed C-RAN using 100% interoperable 3GPP interfaces and traditional backhaul technologies. Our innovative world-first solutions, based on our breakthrough LTE Access Controller, pave the road to the future of advanced 5G HetNet orchestration Parallel Wireless is making LTE networks as easy to build as Wi-Fi networks. Whether macro, metro, small cell, public safety or enterprise, we are re-imagining how to accelerate the LTE access network build out with the LTE Access Controller. The new technology that we are building uses open fully 3GPP-compliant interfaces, allows real-time network orchestration, supports new services, and reduces the time/cost to build, optimize, secure, and evolve the RAN/EPC.
