Alepo Selects Parallel
Wireless Technology for Public Safety LTE Network-in-a-Box
In response to the growing
demand for end-to-end LTE based public safety networks, Alepo, the leading LTE solutions
provider selected Parallel Wireless, the leading LTE technology provider, for a
joint public safety LTE Network-in-a-box solution that can lower deployment
time and costs without sacrificing
performance and security.
Ahead of AfricaCom 2017, Alepo today announced selection of Parallel Wireless technology to provide LTE-based network-in-a-box for the
global public safety market. The announcement is supported with a trial with a first responder network in the
Pacific Rim region prone to earthquakes. The fire, police, and ambulance
services in the region will benefit greatly from an independent, private
network that doesn’t rely on the public communications networks, which can go
down or be congested during an emergency.
The combined public safety solution provides an end-to-end, LTE ready,
mission-critical network-in-a-box. The solution pairs Alepo's PCRF and HSS with
Parallel Wireless's RAN hardware, microwave backhaul, HetNet gateway and
embedded evolved packet core. As an end-to-end package, the solution yields
significant cost-saving benefits, including a ready and rapid deployment,
proven interoperability, and ease of daily operations.
According to the latest
market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the public safety LTE
market is expected to be valued over USD 3 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR
of 25.7% from USD 782.9 million in 2017. As per the report, the government
initiatives toward public safety, and the rising demand for unmanned operations
and remote surveillance is driving the need for public safety LTE
infrastructure and services.
Private LTE network-in-a-box, tailored for emergency services and tactical
communication needs, can be transformative for first responders, especially in
areas where there is no existing coverage or coverage is spotty. The joint
public safety solution can be deployed in various tactical and multi-cast
environments, from police station coverage, to ad hoc scenarios in case of
emergencies. 4G LTE in public safety gives law enforcement the advantage to
access information, stream video, and collaborate in real time. “LTE can allow
public safety field personnel to use bandwidth-intensive applications, such as
real-time video/CCTV, which narrowband data networks cannot deliver,” said
Derrick Gross, Vice President of Business Development at Alepo. “The public
safety LTE market is coming out of the infancy stage and has already
experienced good growth trajectory in the last few years, which, in our eyes,
is a sure sign of an optimistic future.”
