/ 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.

Drop-in gateway (retrofit)

Add a certified gateway (e.g. Digi) to devices already in the field — no re-architecture.

 

Certified hardware partners

/ Technology use cases

Robot OEMs

Ship robots on a customer’s private 5G without building a cellular stack in-house; AerConnect embeds the intelligence and a certified module so the robot connects, stays visible, and is steerable from day one.

Robot OEMs

Two-way radio OEMs

A single radio roams across Wi-Fi, public 5G and private 5G and picks the best path per flow, keeping push-to-talk voice clear as it moves between networks.

Two-way radio OEMs

Forklift computers

Warehouse terminals spanning Wi-Fi and private 5G hand off by policy with per-flow visibility, so scanning and telemetry don’t drop at the edges of coverage.
