Celona Indoor Wi-Fi 7 access point WAP 12
High-capacity enterprise Wi-Fi 7, unified with Private 5G through the Celona Orion platform.
01
Overview
The WAP12 is a compact indoor Wi-Fi 7 access point in the Celona Orion platform, built for enterprise and industrial environments. It delivers high-capacity connectivity for laptops, tablets, scanners, printers, engineering workstations, fixed OT devices, and docked robots - while Celona Private 5G addresses pervasive mobility and mission-critical operations. Managed through Celona Orchestrator, WAP12 extends Celona's converged wireless operating model with common site hierarchy, inventory, onboarding, security policy, telemetry, alarms, firmware lifecycle, and SSID-to-MicroSlice policy mapping - purpose-built Wi-Fi for the workloads where Wi-Fi performs best, unified with Private 5G under one enterprise wireless platform.

Key benefits
An enterprise Wi-Fi 7 access point managed through Celona Orchestrator, bringing high-capacity tri-band connectivity and Private 5G together under one converged wireless platform. Concurrent 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz radios with 4K-QAM, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Multi-Link Operation, and up to 320 MHz channels deliver capacity for modern enterprise and industrial devices.
Purpose-built indoor Wi-Fi 7 access point delivering concurrent tri-band operation with 2×2 MIMO across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz, providing high-capacity connectivity for modern enterprise and industrial environments.
Supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and preamble puncturing to maximize capacity, reduce latency and improve spectrum efficiency for next-generation enterprise applications.
Managed through Celona Orchestrator, delivering unified visibility, policy, lifecycle management and application-aware Micro-Slicing across both Wi-Fi and Private 5G through a single converged enterprise wireless platform.
Supports WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise, 802.1X, certificate-based authentication and secure cloud management to protect users, devices and enterprise applications.
Powered through IEEE 802.3at PoE+ with integrated antennas and flexible ceiling, wall and T-bar mounting, enabling rapid deployment across offices, manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, education and distributed enterprise environments.
