Parallel Wireless trials ‘self-configuring’ public safety network in New Hampshire

Parallel Wireless is deploying a band 14 public safety network in rural NH that

will demonstrate interoperability and ease of deployment, as well as automation

of configuration and maintenance. In addition to demonstrating interoperability,

this trial network will also address the requirements of FirstNet to provide voice

and data coverage from rural, to in-buildings, to in-vehicles.

Interoperability is one key aspect of the deployment.

… sometimes first responders are deployed to an area with

no cellular coverage. In that situation, the company's CWS-

200, a ruggedized in-vehicle eNodeB and Wi-Fi Access

point, could be a solution. The CWS-200 is a compact,

self-configuring mesh solution. The device can provide

its own backhaul via LTE or satellite.

The most interesting new entrant in the wireless

base-station market is a New Hampshire startup with a

penchant for thinking differently.

Although Parallel Wireless did not have a dedicated stand at

APCO 2015, the company appeared in Cisco's exhibit ... By

including Parallel Wireless – which brings a proven

platform for outdoor or vehicle-mounted deployment to

the Cisco story ... But the move was also striking in that it

spotlighted Cisco's inability to leverage the small-cell

investment it made in 2013 with its acquisition of

Ubiquisys, a small-cell specialist.
