Celona ruggedized outdoor access point AP 21 01 ## Overview The AP 21 is a ruggedized access point in the Celona Orion platform - bringing deterministic private 5G NR reach to the most demanding industrial environments across a wide range of international 5G NR bands. Bringing the speed, security, and reliability of 5G NR to enterprises across industries, it was engineered to deliver pervasive indoor and outdoor cellular coverage across massive, critical industrial and outdoor areas - oil refineries, shipping ports, manufacturing yards, and large-scale campus environments. As a fully integrated access point, it connects directly to your IT network with fewer components. Powered by CelonaOS, it delivers deterministic performance for business-critical applications and supports AerFlex - AP-only deployments with zero on-site infrastructure. Ultra-low latency under 10 ms enables applications like wireless PLCs and PROFINET. 02 ## Key benefits An integrated private 5G NR access point powered by CelonaOS, purpose-built for the harshest enterprise environments — indoor and outdoor, IP66 rated, and C1D2 certified for hazardous locations including chemical plants and oil & gas sites. Operating across international 5G NR bands from 3.3-4.9 GHz with AerFlex support, it delivers fewer components, zero-touch provisioning, simpler installation, and a direct IT network connection — no additional hardware required. Global outdoor Private 5G platform Supports global private 5G spectrum bands including n77, n78H, n78L and n79, enabling enterprises to standardize on a common outdoor access point platform across worldwide deployments. Industrial-Grade Ruggedness Purpose-built for harsh industrial environments with IP66 ingress protection and UL Class I Division 2 certification for manufacturing, mining, ports, utilities, transportation and oil and gas facilities. Advanced RF architecture Delivers up to 37 dBm conducted transmit power per RF port with 2×2 MIMO and flexible external antenna support, enabling higher EIRP, extended coverage, directional or omnidirectional designs, optimized sectorization and fewer access points across large outdoor environments. Carrier-Class outdoor hardware Designed with integrated GNSS timing, secure hardware architecture, industrial thermal design and enterprise-grade components for reliable, continuous operation in mission-critical networks. Flexible deployment Supports Celona Edge, Virtualized Edge and AerFlex™ deployment architectures, with DC power input, flexible pole and wall mounting options and simplified outdoor installation. 03 ## Celona Orion platform Celona Orion is converged wireless for the AI-native enterprise — one platform spanning radio, core networking, and AI-powered management. It brings 5G performance, reliability, and deterministic QoS into enterprise and industrial environments, designed specifically for enterprise integration and AI-driven operations. ![Ap21 orion](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Resources/Datasheets/_1920x1200_fit_center-center_70_none_ffffff/31557/ap21-orion.webp) #### Celona SIM + AerConnect Device identity and intelligence #### Celona Access Points Wi-Fi + private 5G as one system #### Celona EdgeOS Integrates into your enterprise #### Celona Orchestrator AI Agentic ops for the GenAI era 04 ## Specifications High level Type 5G Ruggedized Access Point (3GPP Rel. 15 TDD) RF Specifications 2×2 MIMO UL/DL, up to 256 QAM Power (Rx/Tx) Up to 37 dBm (AP21-48) and 35 dBm (AP21-78L/H, AP21-77, AP21-79) per port.
