The need for OpenRAN technology and vendor diversity is growing. I am glad that Parallel Wireless and Parallel Wireless RnD center in Israel is leading this market. The innovative development and research is helping to produce a telecom industry ecosystem to drive lower deployment TCO, where companies can still profit while increasing efficiency and sustainability.
All our aspects of life today depend on the communications infrastructure and therefore it is important that countries ensure safe communication networks at reasonable prices. We at the Ministry of Communications do everything to promote competition. We will continue to encourage establishments of development headquarters to create jobs in Israel.” Yoaz Handel, Communications Minister
