Celona – Leveraging End-To-End 5G LAN Solution That Meets the Connectivity Needs of Edge-Compute Powered Apps

5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices. 5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries. With high speeds, superior reliability and negligible latency, 5G will expand the mobile ecosystem into new realms. 5G will impact every industry.

Celona, the enterprise 5G company, is primarily focused on enabling new generation of AI-powered business critical apps in the enterprise and helping organizations accelerate their digital transformation journey. Taking advantage of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum, Celona’s solution architecture is designed to simplify and automate deployment of cellular wireless technology by enterprise IT organizations and managed service providers. The company was born with the idea that a combination of 5G radio technology, edge computing and machine learning software will fundamentally change how organizations work and do business. Its founding team members have been part of companies like Qualcomm, Aruba, and Cisco and have built products spanning technologies from chipsets to systems to cloud based software.

Offering Robust and Innovative Edge-Compute Products

Celona MicroSlicing™: Unprecedented integration of cellular wireless with existing enterprise IT infrastructures. Powered by Celona MicroSlicing™, the first enterprise-ready implementation of 5G Network Slicing principles. All resources within Celona's network operating system are built as microservices, designed to scale horizontally with evolving application requirements. Network configuration changes and resource management on cellular wireless are automated to guarantee app service levels such as max latency and min throughput. It offers private LTE access points, SIM cards with 5G ready mobile core, SAS license for CBRS spectrum usage, AIOps platform for KPI centric monitoring and network automation. MicroSlicing metrics keep track of application specific SLAs across the network and all devices.

Celona Assistant: An assistant powered by AI that gives you the insights you need and automates the rest. It is an essential ingredient for a Celona 5G LAN and first of its kind for private mobile networks. Design recommendations for 5G LAN dimensioning based on capacity requirements and changing device densities. Enforcement for each MicroSlicing policy in a Celona 5G LAN, based on real-time Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for app quality.

Celona Orchestrator: Hosting the Celona Assistant, Orchestrator goes beyond traditional network operations. It's the fastest way to manage a fully functional private mobile network. Orchestrator enables automated provisioning of Celona SIM cards, Celona Access Points and Celona Edge software on enterprise premises. It is the first time plug-n-play meets cellular wireless. Activation of Celona SIM cards and client device specific rules for enterprise network access are managed via the Orchestrator. There is no need for a separate identity management system. In just a few clicks using the Orchestrator, you can tie together SLA requirements for enterprise apps to different network segments. Rest is up to the Celona platform to automate policy enforcement.

Celona Edge: As an extension of the Celona Platform, Celona Edge terminates data and control plane traffic from the Celona Access Points. It acts as the LTE/5G mobile core for wireless clients, with each of its functions enabled as horizontally scaleable microservices. One can estimate the number of access points in 5G LAN given a facility type, address and size, active client device density and application performance requirements. I is enabling the highest levels of predictable performance and range ever seen in enterprise wireless, they come integrated with private spectrum access and Celona's self-organizing RF intelligence to maximize network capacity, indoors and outdoors.
