[ Home ](https://celona.io/) 2. Celona + Rakuten Symphony Split RAN / Split-RAN Architecture The Celona + Rakuten Symphony split RAN solution adheres to O-RAN split 7.2 architecture, separating the radio from the software that controls it. Radios go where coverage is needed; the CU/DU runs centrally on standard servers— supporting a broad portfolio of radio unit (RU) vendors supporting global spectrums and features. This enables the use of high-powered MIMO radios that can cover an entire mine, port, or service area. The Rakuten Symphony CU/DU integrates into Celona EdgeOS and Orchestrator AI, delivering all the enterprise benefits of the Celona 5G LAN solution. ![Network diagram of the Celona and Rakuten Symphony open RAN private 5G architecture](https://celona.io/volumes/images/_width1000px/celona-rakuten-network-diagram-transparent.png?transformId=8081) ![Icon platform core edge compute ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Core/Standard/512/icon_platform_core_edge_compute_ink_512.png) **CU/DU software** Cloud-native RAN software built with Rakuten Symphony, running on standard servers. ![Icon connectivity celona 5g lan outdoor ap ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Connectivity/Standard/512/icon_connectivity_celona_5g_lan_outdoor_ap_ink_512.png) **Radio units** Outdoor, massive MIMO, and compact macro units from qualified Open RAN vendors. ![Icon platform core edge os ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Core/Standard/512/icon_platform_core_edge_os_ink_512.png) **Celona EdgeOS** On-site operating system that applies policy, security, and local services. ![Icon platform core orchestrator 2 ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Platform/Core/Standard/512/icon_platform_core_orchestrator_2_ink_512.png) **Celona Orchestrator AI** The agentic operations plane for the network fabric — AI-native layer for people, agents, and physical AI ![Icon engagement add on subscriptions ink 512](https://celona.io/volumes/images/Icons/Engagement/Standard/512/icon_engagement_add_on_subscriptions_ink_512.png) **Subscription** Three or five years, including software, updates, and support. / Use cases / USE CASE 01 ### Mining / USE CASE 02 ### Utility / USE CASE 04 ### Ports / USE CASE 03 ### Global / USE CASE 01 ### Mining ### Mining High-power radios blanket large mining sites for autonomous haulage and tele-remote drilling.
