MOXN

The multi-operator exchange behind Celona Neutral Host

Bring carrier coverage indoors on a single private network - no DAS to build, no per-operator negotiations to run.

Solution Brief Technical Doc
/ Overview

What is neutral host ?

A neutral host network uses your private 4G/5G infrastructure to carry certified public-carrier service on subscribers' own SIMs - more coverage and capacity on shared infrastructure, without each operator building its own RAN. Celona delivers this as a turnkey, cloud-first alternative to complex DAS and booster deployments.

What is  MOXN ?

Celona MOXN is a cloud-based, multi-site, multi-customer exchange that securely tunnels traffic between the Celona 5G LAN and each MNO core - turning a private CBRS network into a multi-operator neutral host. No new hardware: same APs, same LAN, one management plane..

Flexible pricing and deployment

Lower barrier to entry. Add neutral host to private wireless, or run neutral host only.

Icon connectivity public cellular ink 512

Public operator voice, data, E911, and WEA

Meets regulatory requirements for reliable public cellular. Better guest and employee experience.

/ Architecture

One channel, many networks

MOCN advertises multiple MNO and private networks on one CBRS channel — no separate per-operator frequencies.

 

Shared infrastructure

A single access point and antenna infrastructure is shared across up to 5 public networks plus 1 private network.

Segmented and secure

Private traffic routes to the enterprise LAN; MNO traffic travels in per-operator IPsec tunnels, segmented at the MOCN gateway and delivered to each operator core.

Data separation

Private network traffic is logically segregated from public MNO traffic across the corporate LAN, protecting sensitive subscriber data.

MOXN architecture: Celona APs on the customer premise broadcast public and private PLMN IDs, with operator traffic carried over IPsec from the site through Celona MOXN to each operator's network. The Celona Orchestrator manages the gateway and exposes KPIs to operators via API.
