Celona redefines private 5G with cloud-only AP architecture for industrial AI

Private 5G solutions provider Celona has launched AerFlex, the first cloud-controlled, access point (AP)-only private 5G platform, designed to simplify enterprise deployment by eliminating on-site servers and complex integrations.
AerFlex enables enterprises to adopt private 5G for advanced automation, real-time decision-making, and AI-driven operations in industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and mining.
The platform’s AP-only architecture and cloud-based orchestration allow rapid deployment, scalability, and secure local data breakout. AerFlex leverages CelonaOS, a unified private 5G operating system, for seamless integration across radio, core, and AI-powered management.
“Celona AerFlex marks a major leap forward in making private 5G truly accessible and operationally efficient for enterprises of all sizes,” says Rajeev Shah, CEO and co-founder of Celona. “By combining innovation with radical simplicity, we’re removing the traditional barriers to private 5G adoption—enabling more organizations to harness its performance, reliability, and security at a time when AI is transforming every industry.”
Cargill, a beta customer, is using AerFlex to connect satellite offices and automate warehouse operations, highlighting its scalability and ease of deployment.
The solution is positioned as a key enabler for industrial AI and enterprise connectivity, addressing the growing demand for reliable, high-performance wireless networks.
Celona, a Silicon Valley-based innovator, has raised over $135 million in funding.
