Celona today unveiled a fully integrated solution for private mobile networks and its unique microslicing technology as the key ingredient. Cenola said that the new solution bridges the gap between cellular wireless and existing it infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build their own lte/5g wireless networks.
The company also announced the availability of its new channel program, including a strategic partnership with Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, to resell Celona’s entire line of products.
By taking advantage of the CBRS spectrum in the United States, enterprises can now build their own private LTE/5G networks to support essential business applications for which predictable wireless performance is non-negotiable, said Celona. Sitting next to existing enterprise Wi-Fi networks, CBRS-based LTE/5G wireless enables an additional lane of wireless connectivity that’s designed to operate in clean spectrum, away from interference.
Celona’s software-led approach utilizes a deployment framework that is familiar to IT organizations and removes the complexity of cellular wireless network design with AI-powered automation. To ensure quality of service (QoS) continuity for critical apps, patent-pending Celona MicroSlicing technology automatically maps, enforces and tracks essential service levels with no human intervention. Tracked on a per application and device group basis, these service levels include maximum latency, jitter, packet error rates and minimum throughput metrics that are maintained across a unified cellular wireless and L2/L3 network infrastructure.
Product components of Celona’s integrated solution architecture include:
The Celona RAN: Enterprise-optimized indoor and outdoor CBRS LTE access points that provide up to 25K sqft and 1M sqft of coverage, respectively. Their radio functions are fully automated via Celona software with their power level and frequency channel assignments in the CBRS spectrum and do not require any manual intervention.
The Celona Edge: Enterprise-ready private LTE/5G core that’s designed to integrate with any existing enterprise network configuration and access control policies. It can be simultaneously deployed on-premises for strict SLA enforcement for local applications and within the private / public / edge clouds for service scalability.
The Celona Orchestrator: An AIOps platform that enables remote installation of Celona’s access points and Edge software across multiple enterprise sites and allows for provisioning of Celona SIM cards against required device level access control policies within the enterprise network.

CBRS is a game changer, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Enterprises need a packaged solution to take full advantage of cellular wireless within the context of their existing IT framework. Our unique approach provides organizations a clear path to easily adopt LTE wireless today, and 5G in the future, while maintaining complete control over the network and the data running over it.
