Celona, the enterprise 5G company, on Friday announced that it is partnering with NTT to power NTT’s Private 5G (P5G) service, the first and only private 5G platform that is purpose-built for enterprise environments.
Combining Celona’s integrated solution with NTT’s deep expertise in Digital Transformation and enterprise networks, NTT P5G managed service supports the business transformation requirements of Chief Information Officers and Chief Digital Officers. The partnership between Celona and NTT to deliver P5G was orchestrated by one of Celona’s investors NTTVC, an independent venture capital firm formed in partnership with NTT.
The NTT P5G platform provides a suite of services built to help Chief Information Officers and Chief Digital Officers drive business outcomes and unlock innovative business models that drive the future of enterprise across industries. NTT P5G, the first globally available private LTE/5G Network-as-a-Service, leverages design thinking principles to integrate security, control, and privacy by design, providing performance and cost benefits with a clear ROI. The platform is pre-integrated with leading software and application partners, allowing enterprises to flexibly secure, scale, and segment their network.
Celona’s new approach to private cellular wireless with its 5G LAN solution is designed to deliver unprecedented operational agility and efficiency via tight integration with existing enterprise network designs and compute platforms. Named the Edgeless Enterprise architecture, it relies on a cloud-native network operating system and provides an all-in-one network service overlay that offers policy-based routing, QoS, and security segmentation functions for critical business applications. Celona’s solution also builds upon 5G network slicing principles with the unique Celona MicroSlicing technology to guarantee key service levels and a consistent application delivery experience.
