Türk Telekom, Net Insight and Parallel Wireless Partner to Drive Innovative 6G Open RAN Solutions

Parallel Wireless, Net Insight and Türk Telekom announced its support for 6G Open RAN standardization efforts, with a focus on advancing GPS/GNSS-independent synchronization technology. This innovation is being integrated  into the standardized ORAN network architecture, developed together with Türk Telekom’s local engineers and in collaboration with Net Insight. Building on its strong fiber infrastructure and technological expertise, Türk Telekom is taking a major step forward in accelerating 6G network advancements.

As the first operator globally to have implemented this unique GPS/GNSS independent critical time and frequency synchronization solution in 5G, Türk Telekom is now working to integrate its patented technology—developed in collaboration with Net Insight—into 6G. In partnership with Parallel Wireless, Türk Telekom and Net Insight are advancing synchronization research to help shape global 6G standards. Together, they are integrating this innovative synchronization technology into the Open RAN architecture. Currently undergoing standardization through a newly proposed working article at ITU-T, this pioneering technology eliminates dependency on satellite systems, enhances security and reliability, and reduces costs.

Türk Telekom CNO Zafer Orhan said, “We are working to shape the future of communication technologies worldwide with our expert engineers and technological experience. We continue our technology production and development efforts that will play an active role in establishing 6G standards through our global collaborations. We are making significant contributions to the ecosystem with our testing and productization studies on Open RAN. As part of our vision to shape the future of communication, we will carry out pioneering work with our global partners Net Insight and Parallel Wireless.”

Parallel Wireless Founder and CEO, Steve Papa, said, “Advancing global standards requires bold innovation and collaboration. Together with Türk Telekom and Net Insight, we are laying the foundation for next-generation networks using the latest technology. By combining our expertise, we are building a scalable and efficient Open RAN architecture that sets the stage for a 6G future.”

Net Insight’s CEO Crister Fritzson said, “As mobile networks continue to evolve, resilient time synchronization will continue to play a crucial role in securing network performance. Achieving GNSS/GPS independent time synchronization in a cost-efficient way requires solutions beyond traditional approaches, especially true as we see a move to an Open RAN architecture, and also towards the evolution of 6G. We are therefore delighted to be part of this exciting collaboration together with our innovative and progressive partners Türk Telekom and Parallel Wireless, to explore what’s next in the evolution of mobile networks.”
