CCA, Parallel Wireless partner to provide end-to-end network solutions

Parallel Wireless, Inc has announced a strategic partnership to provide network infrastructure for CCA’s carrier members to cost-effectively accelerate and enable their 4G expansion and 5G network migration to better serve rural America, businesses and consumers. Parallel Wireless also is a CCA associate member.

According to the 2019 Statista report, only 78% of the US rural population has access to the Internet, comparing to 92% in urban areas. There are economical and technical challenges that contribute to this digital divide, including cost of deployment, access to spectrum, equipment interoperability and high operational cost in low density areas. With the need to expand the 4G network and with 5G on the horizon, rural carriers are looking for cost-effective network solutions that will improve their business models and help them to not only survive but also thrive.

A key goal of CCA and Parallel Wireless’s strategic partnership is to provide CCA’s members with cost-effective solutions to close this digital divide - not only to begin experiencing cost savings and operational efficiency, but also to future-proof their networks for 5G and adapt to policy and regulations changes.
