Puneet Shetty and Mark Jimenez present how Celona is integrating AI into its Celona Orchestrator platform to automate network operations, from deployment to monitoring and troubleshooting. They demonstrate how a minimal private 5G LAN setup, consisting of an access point, connected devices, and cloud components—can be brought online with minimal infrastructure. The goal is to simplify deployment by eliminating the need for a local edge device and integrating core network functions directly into the access point. This design reduces friction and complexity, enabling rapid setup and data routing with local breakout capability, all managed through Celona Orchestrator.

During the live demonstration, two devices, a Zebra TC78 and an iPhone 16 Pro, are connected to the Celona access point to illustrate service provisioning and connectivity monitoring. The devices initially receive IP addresses from Celona’s default range, but the demo shows how Celona Orchestrator can dynamically change device profiles to integrate with enterprise DHCP services, providing corporate-assigned IPs. This local breakout approach means data traffic remains within the enterprise network, avoiding latency and privacy concerns associated with public cellular providers. The presenters also show system resiliency by temporarily disconnecting the WAN, demonstrating that the network quickly recovers with minimal disruption.

In discussing broader deployment implications, Shetty highlights how private 5G networks are gaining traction in industries like oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics, particularly for outdoor environments or critical applications requiring high reliability. Celona has streamlined eSIM provisioning using MDM and APIs, allowing zero-touch deployments at scale, essential for managing hundreds or thousands of devices. The session also addresses spectrum availability worldwide, noting that while CBRS is unique to the US, similar enterprise-use spectrum bands are increasingly available globally.

Personnel: Mark Jimenez, Puneet Shetty

Puneet provides an overview of our next breakthrough in Private 5G design — the “Edgeless” architecture, and MJ delivers a killer demonstration.

In this Mobility Field Day 13 session, Puneet Shetty introduced Celona’s new “Edgeless” architecture, a significant evolution in private 5G deployment aimed at reducing complexity and hardware overhead for enterprise customers. Traditionally, private 5G setups required on-premises appliances to host core services, resulting in racks of hardware and a heavier deployment model. Celona had already simplified this with a centralized Edge appliance, but the team identified that even this created friction. The Edgeless architecture eliminates the need for that appliance by redistributing essential services directly onto the access points and into the cloud. Critical data path functions, including L2/L3 integration and firewall/NAC interfacing, remain on-site at the access point, while cloud-based services handle control plane and spectrum management.

MJ demonstrated the new deployment model live, showcasing a fully functioning private 5G network powered by nothing more than a single PoE++-powered Celona access point plugged into a standard Ethernet connection. The hardware was designed with sufficient processing power to handle the additional microservices now required locally. This controllerless model echoes the familiar evolution of enterprise Wi-Fi, which transitioned from centralized controllers to fully cloud-managed, autonomous access points. The goal is to offer the same level of simplicity and scalability to private cellular networks, enabling quick deployment without additional on-premises infrastructure.

Celona expects this architecture to be especially attractive to large distributed enterprises managing numerous sites, each requiring just a few access points for coverage. By eliminating the need for local appliances, the Edgeless model simplifies management, cuts deployment timelines, and reduces friction without compromising security or performance. While advanced use cases like high-speed mobility may still warrant appliance-based edge deployments, the new architecture significantly broadens Celona’s addressable market. It aligns private 5G with the ease of Wi-Fi, and early customer feedback suggests growing interest and adoption. As Shetty noted, many potential clients are already delaying POCs to wait for Edgeless availability, viewing it as the future of enterprise private wireless.
