Parallel Wireless and Mavenir Collaborate on Next-Generation 5G NSA Open RAN
Successful 5G NSA integration accelerates fully open, cloud-native networks for All G deployments.
February 24, 2025, Nashua, USA – Parallel Wireless®, a leading provider of Open RAN solutions, and Mavenir, a recognized leader in Open RAN and 5G Core network software, have successfully completed interoperability testing of a complete 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) solution. This collaboration demonstrates the seamless integration of Mavenir’s advanced 5G Converged Packet Core with Parallel Wireless’ GreenRAN™ technology, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to open and interoperable network architectures.
This collaboration signals a shift in the industry toward open, fully pre-integrated solutions—breaking down traditional silos in telecommunications and paving the way for more flexible, cloud-native networks.
Mavenir’s cloud-native 5G Converged Packet Core brings cross-cloud and multi-infrastructure compatibility, enabling deployment flexibility and reducing vendor lock-in across all generations of mobile technology whether 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G NSA, and 5G SA. Parallel Wireless’ software-defined GreenRAN technology complements this with a RAN solution focused on energy efficient TCO. It marks a significant step forward in delivering flexible, software-driven 5G solutions including the potential for more integrated multi-vendor RAN solutions.
“Operators expect the Open RAN ecosystem to proactively advance multi-vendor interoperability. This joint effort with Mavenir demonstrates how cooperation can advance operator interests in Open RAN. By pre-integrating the full 2G, 4G and 5G GreenRAN solution with the Mavenir 5G Core, we are taking an important first step to future deeper collaboration,” said Steve Papa, Founder and CEO, Parallel Wireless.
“Our work with Parallel Wireless reflects our shared commitment to open, standards-based solutions that enable operators to unlock the full potential of 5G and overcome the limitations of legacy infrastructure.
