[ Become a design partner ](https://celona.io/contact-us) ![33640 Celona Aer Connect](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Content/Platform/Products/AerConnect/33640-Celona-AerConnect.svg) 1. [ Home ](https://celona.io/) 2. AerConnect / Overview AerConnect is an open-source software layer that sits inside the device and adds the intelligence to work with any and all wireless network infrastructure — Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, and private 5G — with no vendor lock-in and no constraints. / How it works Celona AerConnect is deployed on the device operating system. These devices can be AMRs, humanoids, smart cameras, or edge AI platforms. AerConnect utilizes all available connections, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, private/public cellular, to ensure the device always selects the optimal path for every flow. AerConnect also provides granular visibility into how the network is performing to allow easy issue detection and resolution for wireless issues in the field. ![Aerconnect architecture transparent](https://celona.io/volumes/images/aerconnect_architecture_transparent.svg) 01 ### Per-flow visibility Sees how each flow is performing. 02 ### Policy-based steering Routes each flow to the right network. 03 ### Enforced anywhere On the device or a certified gateway. / Key differentiators ## Add wireless intelligence without becoming a wireless company ![Icon attributes open source ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Attributes/Standard/512/_240x240_crop_center-center_90_none/21008/icon_attributes_open_source_ink_512.webp) ### Intelligent wireless, no R&D cost Add sophisticated wireless intelligence to your device with no R&D cost — you don’t have to become a wireless company. ![Icon connectivity private wireless connectivity ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Connectivity/Standard/512/_240x240_crop_center-center_90_none/20685/icon_connectivity_private_wireless_connectivity_ink_512.webp) ### Add cellular, easily Add new differentiating capabilities — like cellular and private 5G support — to your device easily, with no re-architecture. ![Icon attributes network visibility ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Attributes/Standard/512/_240x240_crop_center-center_90_none/21007/icon_attributes_network_visibility_ink_512.webp) ### Visibility and supportability Get deeper visibility and supportability into the number-one customer-experience issue normally out of your control: the network. / Adding cellular to your device ## Two paths, same AerConnect software For new products ![Icon platform core sim ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Core/Standard/512/icon_platform_core_sim_ink_512.png) ### Design-in module Build a certified cellular module (e.g. Telit) into new devices. Best when you’re designing a new product. For devices already in the field ![Icon ai devices iot gateway ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/AI-and-Connected-Devices/Standard/512/icon_ai_devices_iot_gateway_ink_512.png) ### Drop-in gateway (retrofit) Add a certified gateway (e.g. Digi) to devices already in the field — no re-architecture.
