Airspan Networks Holdings LLC (“Airspan”), a leading developer of 4G and 5G Open RAN solutions, proudly announces the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pavo Group, a global provider of security and defense solutions. This partnership will leverage the combined expertise of both companies to revolutionize the deployment of mobile telecommunications for defense, security, and critical infrastructure networks.

Pavo Group, with its extensive experience in defense and critical infrastructure technology, is uniquely positioned to complement Airspan’s innovative Open RAN solutions. The MoU will focus on integrating 4G and 5G into robust, secure networks, supporting the needs of military, law enforcement, and utility providers in high-demand, high-security environments.

This partnership will initially target the public safety and defense sector, where secure, high-speed communication is essential for mission-critical operations. By integrating Airspan’s Open RAN-based 5G technology into tactical and strategic networks, the partnership aims to enhance real-time secure communication and data sharing, strengthening situational awareness, decision-making, and operational effectiveness.

In addition, the partnership will focus on bolstering critical infrastructure networks, such as utilities, HAPS (High Altitude Platform Stations) and Industry 4.0. Airspan’s Open RAN solutions enable secure, flexible, and highly reliable communication systems that support critical infrastructure like power grids and water management systems. With Pavo Group’s expertise in industrial and utility network solutions, the collaboration will provide governments and agencies with networks more resilient to cyber threats and environmental disruptions.

Pavo Group’s existing relationships with emergency services, police departments, and national defense bodies will provide a foundation for deploying Open RAN 4G and 5G networks designed to meet the stringent requirements of defense and public safety systems. These networks will deliver secure, real-time communication that enhances public safety, emergency response times, and utility management during crises.

Henrik Smith-Petersen, CSMO at Airspan, added, "We are excited to partner with Pavo Group to bring our Open RAN-based solutions to emergency service, defense and utility networks.
