Celona 5G indoor access point AP 24

Overview

The AP 24 is the plug-and-play indoor access point in the Celona Orion platform - a fully integrated 5G NR access point delivering deterministic, enterprise-grade wireless performance across a wide range of global 5G NR bands (n48, n77, n78, n79) spanning 3.4-4.2 and 4.5-4.9 GHz. Bringing the speed, security, and reliability of 5G NR to enterprises across industries, it was engineered to deliver pervasive indoor cellular coverage across enterprise environments - warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and offices - with support for both internal and external antennas on select models. Powered by CelonaOS, it delivers deterministic performance for business-critical applications and enables AerFlex - AP-only, controller-less deployments with zero on-site infrastructure. Ultra-low latency under 10 ms enables applications like wireless PLCs and PROFINET.

Key benefits

An integrated private 5G NR access point powered by CelonaOS, purpose-built for indoor enterprise environments — IP-50 rated with dust protection and IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 PoE++ for seamless integration with existing network infrastructure. Operating across global 5G NR bands from 3.4-4.2 and 4.5-4.9 GHz with support for internal or external antennas, it delivers fewer components, zero-touch provisioning, self-organizing spectrum management, and an integrated PTP timing source — no external timing equipment required.

Global indoor Private 5G platform

Supports n48, n77, n78 and n79 on a common indoor hardware platform, simplifying global deployments, inventory management and product standardization.

High-Performance RF architecture

Advanced 2×2 MIMO RF design with excellent receiver sensitivity and a choice of integrated or external antenna models, enabling optimized coverage, directional RF designs, flexible antenna placement and stronger cell-edge performance.

Enterprise-Grade security

Secure boot, hardware root of trust, TPM and certificate-based authentication help protect the access point throughout its operational lifecycle.

PoE++ enterprise integration

Powered through IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ and designed to connect directly to compatible enterprise switching infrastructure, reducing the need for separate power equipment, additional cabling and installation complexity.

Flexible deployment

Supports Celona Edge, Virtualized Edge and AerFlex™ deployment architectures, with integrated and external antenna options and flexible ceiling or wall mounting for a broad range of indoor environments.

Celona Orion platform

Celona Orion is converged wireless for the AI-native enterprise — one platform spanning radio, core networking, and AI-powered management.
