Policy follows the workload, not the radio. [ Technical Doc ](https://docs.celona.io/en/articles/7159638-microslicing-configuration) [ Demo ](https://celona.io/resources/microslicing) 1. [ Home ](https://celona.io/) 2. Technologies 3. MicroSlicing / Overview For thirty years, enterprise wireless was built for people, not machines. Physical and agentic AI change the rules: robots, vehicles, vision systems, and software agents can't absorb the jitter and loss that best-effort wireless was designed to tolerate. MicroSlicing makes wireless deterministic at the level that matters - the individual application flow - with a scheduler that holds every flow to a defined uplink and downlink service level. And with Orion, that per-application guarantee spans the converged fabric, private 5G and Wi-Fi alike. / Architecture A MicroSlice is a logical, end-to-end path with a defined service level: the priority, latency bound, and loss tolerance for a given workload. Orion enforces that service level in the radio scheduler itself - on private 5G or Wi-Fi, whichever serves the workload - rather than through best-effort QoS markings. ![Icon connectivity private wireless connectivity ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Connectivity/Standard/512/icon_connectivity_private_wireless_connectivity_ink_512.png) #### On private 5G Maps each service level to 3GPP QoS classes - QCI (LTE) / 5QI (5G NR). Selects the bearer per workload: GBR, Non-GBR, or Delay-Critical GBR. Enforced in real time by the agentic operations plane. ![Icon connectivity wi fi ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Connectivity/Standard/512/icon_connectivity_wi_fi_ink_512.png) #### On Wi-Fi Maps slice intent to the matching WMM access category — Voice, Video, Best Effort, or Background. Workloads keep their class of service as they move between radios. One policy, native to each medium. ![Microslicing unified qos policy](https://celona.io/volumes/images/_2400x1456_fit_center-center_70_none_ffffff/43308/microslicing_unified_qos_policy.webp) Orchestrator AI, the agentic operations plane, runs this in real time - continuously monitoring flows across the fabric and adjusting as conditions change, so higher-priority workloads hold their guarantee under load. Because slices are logically isolated, MicroSlicing is also a security boundary: IT and OT traffic can be segmented and steered to the right segment. Into the enterprise network, MicroSlice policy maps to standard DSCP tags, so slices line up with the VLANs and QoS you already run. The guarantee that starts at the radio is honored all the way through the LAN. / Key differentiators ![Icon attributes converged ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Attributes/Standard/512/icon_attributes_converged_ink_512.png) #### Maintain a single QoS architecture across Wi-Fi and 5G One policy across 5G and Wi-Fi. Defined once, enforced on whichever radio carries the workload. 3GPP QoS on cellular, WMM on Wi-Fi. ![Icon platform diff microslicing ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Differentiators/Standard/512/icon_platform_diff_microslicing_ink_512.png) #### Guarantee the experience of every critical workload Per-application, per-device SLAs. Priority, delay budget, and error rate set and held per flow. Machine workloads that can’t tolerate jitter or loss get a guarantee. ![Icon platform core orchestrator ai ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Core/Standard/512/icon_platform_core_orchestrator_ai_ink_512.png) #### Hold guarantees under load, without manual tuning Live enforcement by the agentic operations plane. Orchestrator AI adjusts flows continuously as conditions change. Guarantees hold under real-world congestion, no manual tuning. ![Icon security enhanced security ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Security-and-Policy/Standard/512/icon_security_enhanced_security_ink_512.png) #### Segment IT from OT with security built in Isolation and segmentation built in. Each slice is logically isolated and steered to a dedicated secure segment. Security architected in from day one, not bolted on. ![Icon platform diff wireless aware ip routing ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Differentiators/Standard/512/icon_platform_diff_wireless_aware_ip_routing_ink_512.png) #### Extend the guarantee into the network you already run Clean handoff to the enterprise network. MicroSlice policy maps to standard DSCP tags and existing VLANs. Integrates with the QoS framework you already run, no forklift. / Use cases ![Img microslicing manufact ot 01](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Content/Platform/Technology/Microslicing/_1100x1100_crop_center-center_75_none/40369/img_microslicing_manufact-ot-01.webp) ### Manufacturing and OT - Delay-critical guarantees for AGVs, PLCs, and machine-vision systems - OT kept logically separated from IT on the same fabric [ Manufacturing ](/manufacturing) ![Img microslicing logistics warehouse forklift 01](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Content/Platform/Technology/Microslicing/_1100x1100_crop_center-center_75_none/40370/img_microslicing_logistics-warehouse-forklift-01.webp) ### Logistics and warehousing - Prioritize scanners, AMRs, and voice-picking over general traffic - Policy follows devices between 5G yards and Wi-Fi pick areas [ Logistics and warehousing ](/warehousing-and-logistics) ![Img microslicing voice and colab 01](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Content/Platform/Technology/Microslicing/_1100x1100_crop_center-center_75_none/40371/img_microslicing-voice-and-colab-01.webp) ### Voice and real-time collaboration - Protect push-to-talk and voice on the frontline - Clean calls whether on cellular outdoors or Wi-Fi indoors ![Img microslicing mixedrobot 01](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Content/Platform/Technology/Microslicing/_1100x1100_crop_center-center_75_none/40372/img-microslicing-mixedrobot-01.webp) ### Mixed robotics and sensor fleets - Dedicated slices for physical-AI workloads - Coexists with best-effort corporate traffic on the same site [ Robotics ](https://celona.io/resources/accelerate-robotics-deployments-with-private-5g-connectivity) / Product video ### Prioritizing applications on the network with MicroSlicing See how MicroSlicing prioritizes a specific app - here, Zoom - on private 5G, delivering consistent real-time performance automatically, with no changes on end devices. / Resources [ ![Resource default product documentation](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Resource-Defaults/_800x450_crop_center-center_75_none/47333/resource-default-product-documentation.webp) Product Documentation NEW ### Solution Brief: AerLoc One identity, one security model across every radio, security built into the converged wireless fabric.
