Celona burst onto the scene in November 2020 with its 5G LAN platform and Edgeless Enterprise Architecture –allowing enterprises, for the first time, to own and operate their own private LTE/5G networks. With CBRS-based private cellular, institutions of all kinds can provide deterministic, ultra-reliable wireless connectivity.
Patented MicroSlicing™ technology is used to automatically enforce QoS over the air, integrating directly with the existing enterprise LAN security and policy framework.
Celona’s unique approach now gives enterprises a fully integrated 5G LAN that IT staff can easily deploy and manage like a conventional wireless LAN with the added benefits of extended coverage, seamless roaming, predictable performance and deterministic connectivity.
“This flexibility makes it easy to rollout digital initiatives on their own dedicated express lane of robust wireless connectivity for applications that demand strict quality of service levels and network performance,” said Rajeev Shah, co-founder and CEO of Celona. “Our Edgeless architecture allows for private 5G technology installation as an out-of-box experience in enterprise environments.”
