/ No Compromise Wi-Fi - unified with 5G
Celona Orion delivers a comprehensive enterprise Wi-Fi solution with private 5G to offer enterprises the best of both worlds.
Organizations can leverage each technology where it performs best while managing both through Orchestrator AI. The converged network provides a unified policy, security, and lifecycle management - delivering a better user experience at a significantly lower total cost.
/ Why traditional Wi-Fi-only architectures fall short
| Traditional Wi-Fi approach | The challenge | Celona approach |
|---|---|---|
| Force Wi-Fi to support every workload | Robotics, autonomous vehicles and outdoor operations experience inconsistent coverage, roaming interruptions, and poor performance. | Use the right wireless technology for each workload. Wi-Fi for high-capacity indoor connectivity. Private 5G for pervasive mobility and mission-critical operations. |
| Deploy more Wi-Fi access points | Increasing AP density raises infrastructure costs, RF contention, operational complexity, and still doesn’t solve coverage and mobility challenges. | Optimize instead of oversizing. Deploy the appropriate mix of Wi-Fi and Private 5G to reduce unnecessary APs while improving user experience. |
| Add proprietary overlays or niche wireless technologies | Specialized solutions introduce additional hardware, management tools, and vendor lock-in to compensate for limitations in traditional Wi-Fi deployments. | Standard enterprise Wi-Fi and 5G managed through a common identity, policy, AI, and operations platform. |
| Operate multiple wireless silos | Separate teams, policies, security models, and lifecycle management increase operational overhead. | One platform. One policy. One operational model. Unified visibility, security, lifecycle management, and AI-assisted operations. |
