Celona high-density Wi-Fi 7 access point WAP14
High-density enterprise Wi-Fi 7, unified with Private 5G through the Celona Orion platform.
01
Overview
The WAP14 is a high-density indoor Wi-Fi 7 access point in the Celona Orion platform, built for enterprise and industrial environments with demanding capacity needs. Its 4×4:4 MU-MIMO radios on 5 and 6 GHz deliver added headroom for high-density 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, WAP14 extends Celona's converged wireless operating model with common site hierarchy, inventory, onboarding, security policy, telemetry, alarms, client timelines, firmware lifecycle, and SSID-to-MicroSlice policy mapping - purpose-built high-density Wi-Fi for the workloads where Wi-Fi performs best, unified with Private 5G under one enterprise wireless platform.

Key benefits
The WAP14 is a high-density 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 4×4:4 MU-MIMO on 5 and 6 GHz, 10 spatial streams, 4K-QAM, OFDMA, MLO, and up to 320 MHz channels - deliver up to 18 Gbps aggregate for demanding enterprise and industrial deployments.
Concurrent 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz radios with 4×4:4 MU-MIMO on 5 and 6 GHz, 4K-QAM, OFDMA, MLO, and up to 320 MHz channels deliver added capacity for high-density enterprise and industrial deployments - up to 18 Gbps aggregate PHY rate.
Celona Orchestrator provides a unified operational experience across sites, devices, inventory, alarms, lifecycle, policy, and troubleshooting - one platform spanning Wi-Fi and Private 5G.
Map Wi-Fi SSIDs and device policies into Celona MicroSlices to apply consistent business intent and application priority across the converged wireless environment.
Supports traditional Wi-Fi authentication - WPA2/WPA3, dynamic and multiple pre-shared keys (DPSK/MPSK), MAC-based authentication, and Wi-Fi Enhanced Open (OWE) - with RADIUS, NAC, and captive-portal integration.
Use existing Celona serial and bulk onboarding workflows, site assignment, certificate-based discovery, centralized configuration, and fleet-wide software lifecycle management.
Fanless IP41 enclosure, internal antennas, ceiling / wall / T-bar mounting, and multi-gig PoE power simplify deployment in manufacturing, warehousing, and distributed enterprise sites.

Celona Orion platform
Celona Orion brings enterprise Wi-Fi and Private 5G together as one intelligent wireless fabric: use WAP14 for high-density indoor connectivity and Celona Private 5G for deterministic mobility, pervasive coverage, and mission-critical applications - each radio technology used where it fits best, with shared visibility, policy, and lifecycle workflows and no separate operational silos.
