#  Testing private 5G performance on an iPhone 

Configuring and measuring private 5G network performance on an iPhone 13

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

This video demonstrates how to activate and test a Celona SIM on a private 5G network. It walks through the process of enabling a preloaded SIM on the Celona Orchestrator, associating it with an edge cluster, and connecting it to a device - in this case, an iPhone 13 with a physical Celona SIM. Once the phone connects to the Celona 5G network, the Orchestrator displays device details like IMEI, model, IP address, and connection quality. The demo then verifies successful connectivity by running performance and streaming tests, showing smooth video playback and stable network performance on the Celona private 5G setup.
