We are bringing 5G LANs to the enterprise 📶✌️
About us
Celona is an early pioneer and innovator within the multi-billion-dollar private wireless market. The company is credited with developing the industry’s first fully turnkey enterprise 5G LAN system that leverages emerging shared cellular spectrum to enable companies, for the first time. To own and operate their private mobile network infrastructure. Its products and technology help organizations accelerate the adoption of business-critical applications and use cases to support a new generation of Industry 4.0 digital business initiatives. Founded in 2019 by industry leaders with technical expertise in cellular, enterprise wireless and cloud computing, the company is privately held. To date, Celona has raised $100 million from premiere investors including Qualcomm Ventures, NTT Venture Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, Cervin Ventures and DigitalBridge. Celona’s private wireless system solves long-standing wireless issues such as reliability, coverage, deterministic connectivity, quality of service, and security, not satisfied by conventional wireless technologies. Celona’s private wireless system is also the first-of-its kind to tightly integrate network and radio functions – full stack core software and cloud-based orchestration – into a unified solution ready for direct integration within any existing enterprise network infrastructure by enterprise IT staff. It combines all the components required to enable an IT team to build their own 4G/5G wireless networks in a single package that is easy to deploy, integrate and manage at scale. Celona sells its products and technology directly and indirectly to companies around the world through a diverse network of top channel partners, managed service providers and system integrators. And our products serve as the foundation for Verizon’s Onsite private 5G service as well as NTT’s P5G offering.

Must attend for OT folks looking at Private 5G. #OT #private5g
Webinar: Eliminating Data Blind Spots in LNG Terminal Operations with #MQTT and #Private5G 📅 Thursday, February 19, 2026 ⏰ 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Central Time LNG terminals require continuous, high-resolution measurement data to support accurate custody transfer, yet many facilities still face persistent coverage gaps across large, hazardous areas. Legacy radios struggle to deliver the data fidelity required, and Wi-Fi often demands infrastructure density that isn’t practical at scale. #PrivateNetworks offer a more predictable approach, delivering low latency while minimizing security exposure and reducing #SCADA compliance burden. In this webinar, learn how the combination of Celona’s private 5G infrastructure, Automation Solutions, LP (AUTOSOL)’s SCADA communications platform, and Digi’s 5G-enabled connectivity solutions supports pervasive, real-time data collection from inlet metering through ship loading — without the cost and complexity of wired backhaul. The session outlines how this architecture helps #LNG terminal operators modernize their data strategy. 👉 Register now to save your spot. #IoT #IIoT #LNGOperations #LNGTerminals #IndustrialIoT #IndustrialNetworking #CustodyTransfer #ProcessAutomation #EnergyInfrastructure #Utilities #EnergyUtilities #UtilityInfrastructure #CriticalInfrastructure

The adoption of industrial AI is redefining enterprise connectivity requirements. The impact? Networks must deliver performance and reliability levels that traditional wireless technologies were never designed to support. In a recent interview with Pulse 2.0, Celona co-founder and CEO Rajeev Shah shares the vision behind the company's private 5G platform, purpose-built to meet the connectivity requirements of modern industrial enterprises. He also discusses how his background in networking shaped the company’s direction.

Curious about the key trends shaping the future of industrial operations? In his 2026 CRN outlook, Celona co-founder and CEO Rajeev Shah explores how real-time intelligence is transforming industrial environments, and why private 5G is emerging as the connectivity foundation for industrial AI.
I recently shared my 2026 outlook with CRN, and one theme stood out clearly: industrial operations are entering a new phase of real-time intelligence. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in day-to-day industrial operations, the infrastructure supporting it is becoming a strategic differentiator. Networks must deliver deterministic performance, scale, and operational simplicity to support this shift. That’s why private 5G is emerging as the foundational connectivity layer for the industrial AI era.

“Private 5G is too complex.” We hear this all the time-especially those familiar with telco-based solutions. Our CTO, Mehmet Yavuz, tackles this perception head-on in a new lecture: "10 Roadblocks to Private 5G in Industrial Environments — and How to Solve Them." We’ll break it down one challenge per week over the next 10 weeks — or you can bring the pop-corn and binge the full series now at celona.io/cto-lectures
