Celona PoE+ 5G indoor access point AP 26

Q: Secure wireless communication

Certificate-based mutual authentication secures the connection between AP and cloud, with data at rest and in transit protected by comprehensive encryption mechanisms.

Q: Deterministic performance for business-critical applications

32 concurrent users per AP with 2×2 MIMO, up to 256 QAM (DL) / 64 QAM (UL). Balanced, DL-heavy, and UL-heavy traffic profiles, with 20, 40, 60, and 100 MHz channel bandwidths.

Q: Enterprise-friendly management and operations

Cloud-managed through Celona Orchestrator with automatic sub-band mapping and site-level visibility. Integrated PTP follower support provides precise timing synchronization, with a single-LED status indicator.

Q: Support for external antennas

External antenna support is planned for AP 26, qualified against Celona antennas as deployments require (120° sector, 65° sector, and Omni).

A plug-and-play Celona Orion 5G NR indoor access point for enterprise private wireless across the 3550-4200 MHz band (n48, n77, n78H), delivered as a single region-provisioned SKU on IEEE 802.3at PoE+.

Celona PoE+ 5G indoor access point AP 26

Overview

The AP 26 is the PoE+ indoor access point in the Celona Orion platform - a fully integrated 5G NR access point designed for enterprise private wireless environments running on PoE+ infrastructure. Purpose-built for data center and similar environments, it is delivered as a single, region-provisioned SKU that automatically maps to n48, n77, or n78H based on site address. Powered by CelonaOS, it delivers deterministic, enterprise-grade performance for business-critical applications across the 3550-4200 MHz spectrum, and single-cable IEEE 802.3at PoE+ operation simplifies indoor deployment.

Key benefits

An integrated private 5G NR access point powered by CelonaOS, purpose-built for data center and PoE+ indoor environments. Operating across the 3550-4200 MHz spectrum (n48, n77, n78H) as a single region-provisioned SKU, it runs entirely over IEEE 802.3at PoE+ — a single cable, no power injector — and mixes and matches with the existing AP 21, AP 22, AP 24, and AP 25 portfolio on the same site.

Support for global private wireless spectrum

Operates across 3550-4200 MHz (n48, n77, n78H) as a single unified hardware platform, automatically region-provisioned by site address with an activation-time override available.

Built for data center and PoE+ environments

Powered entirely over IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (<25.5 W) - no separate power injector required. Mix-and-match support with the existing AP21, AP22, AP24, and AP25 portfolio on the same site.

Secure wireless communication

Certificate-based mutual authentication secures the connection between AP and cloud, with data at rest and in transit protected by comprehensive encryption mechanisms.

Deterministic performance for business-critical applications

32 concurrent users per AP with 2×2 MIMO, up to 256 QAM (DL) / 64 QAM (UL). Balanced, DL-heavy, and UL-heavy traffic profiles, with 20, 40, 60, and 100 MHz channel bandwidths.

Enterprise-friendly management and operations

Cloud-managed through Celona Orchestrator with automatic sub-band mapping and site-level visibility. Integrated PTP follower support provides precise timing synchronization, with a single-LED status indicator.

Support for external antennas

External antenna support is planned for AP 26, qualified against Celona antennas as deployments require (120° sector, 65° sector, and Omni).
