NASHUA, N.H., Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
-- End-to-End Orchestration and Analytics Driven Automation to Reduce Cost of
4G/5G Deployments and Maintenance of Wireless Networks
Parallel Wireless (
), the leader of All G OpenRAN, and Robin.io, the application automation
platform company, today announced an extension of their 2018 partnership (
) to help global Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) bring the benefits of
automation in the webscale data center to the heterogeneous embedded systems
environment of the RAN across 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.

MNOs have long wanted the promise of datacenter automation to deliver instant
provisioning of complex VNF and CNF suites, self-optimization, self-healing and
fast recovery. The reality is that using data center technologies in the RAN
introduces a different type of operational complexity that MNOs need to solve.
Bringing together Parallel Wireless's pioneering cloud-native All G OpenRAN
approach, complemented with Robin.io's industry-leading automation and
lifecycle management platform for data center technologies such as containers
and virtualized workload management, is making the much-anticipated promise of
virtualization of RAN a reality.
The RAN has historically been dominated by embedded systems thinking, the
shared vision is to instead bring to the RAN the billions of investments in
webscale/cloud datacenter. As more datacenter servers are introduced to the
RAN, MNOs will ultimately want a single orchestration platform to cover all
devices versus managing multiple platforms whether it is RRH on a tower,
real-time baseband at the edge, core services in the data center or on-prem
enterprise 5G service devices. The Robin platform uniquely enables analytics
driven automation of the widest range of heterogeneous "long-tail"
provisioning, slicing, optimization, healing, scaling (in, out) and recovery
scenarios to deliver on this single platform vision. Lastly, operators will
have their preferred virtualization or container platform and Robin is designed
to interoperate with all of them whether VMWare, Kubernetes, AWS, OpenStack,
Whitestack, etc.
Steve Papa, CEO, Parallel Wireless, said, "When we started working with Robin
in 2018 to automate the big data challenges in the network the use of V/CNFs in
the RAN was in its infancy. Two years later, it's clear with the global OpenRAN
movement that the RAN will soon be completely software-defined and implemented
using cloud-native design patterns. Operators also need a platform that can
provide end to end slicing of these heterogeneous resources. Only Robin.io
could deliver on this vision."
Jef Graham, CEO, Robin.io, said, "Mobile operators are quickly realizing the
vital necessity of automation to manage the deployment and life cycle of 5G
networks and network functions. Without massively scalable, cloud-native
automation, the cost and complexity of running these networks quickly becomes
untenable. Working with Parallel Wireless, Robin.io is delivering that
automation, via application-and infrastructure-topology awareness technology
that has been refined and proven."
Over the course of 2020 Parallel Wireless will introduce Robin optimized
releases of Unified OpenRAN Controller software and Unified Edge Core software
for automated, DevOps-enabled complex dynamically chained services. Edge Core's
high throughput 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi services distributed at the edges of the
network will be easily managed as a part of the RAN. This partnership will also
enable seamless deployment for enterprise/private 4G/5G including hybrid
MNO-enterprise solutions.
Demonstrations of the joint solution will be showcased at MWC, at the Parallel
Wireless stand in Hall 5, Stand 5i5, and in AWS village, Atrium CC1, February
24-27, in Barcelona.
