Celona launches Orion agentic wireless platform built for physical AI and robotics

Today, private wireless provider Celona announced Celona Orion, a unified agentic converged wireless platform that merges private 5G, Wi-Fi, public cellular, and satellite connectivity into a single, deterministic network fabric.

Orion is engineered to support the connectivity demands of physical AI, specifically autonomous vehicles ( AVs ), autonomous mobile robots ( AMRs ), computer vision systems, and edge software agents. The platform marks a shift from legacy device-centric networks to an intelligent, multi-network architecture built for automated enterprise operations, asserted Campbell, Calif.-based Celona.

The company said that Orion simplifies infrastructure management by offering private 5G and Wi-Fi 7 access points under a single subscription model, along with an open-source agent for robotics manufacturers.

Now, AV and AMR vendors can offer more robust connectivity for clients, selectively connecting to the appropriate network depending on the communication demands of the robot or vehicle. For example, an uncrewed hauler at a mining site might connect to a private 5G connection during normal operations, and then connect to Wi-Fi at the end of the shift, once inside the garage, for high-speed data downloads and updates.

In addition to a unified network fabric, Celona Orion i ntroduces an agentic operations platform for converged wireless . Celona Wi-Fi 7 access points are included at no additional cost.

Using Celona Orion, factory and warehouse customers can deploy Celona private 5G access points plus Celona Wi‑Fi access points to create overlapping canopies. The entire network can then be managed by Orion Orchestrator as a “single pane of glass,” said the company.

“Our operations rely on multiple wireless technologies, each serving a different purpose across environments,” stated Luca Chichiarelli, head of IT operations at tile vendor Del Conca USA. “As we expand automation, we’re connecting more devices, systems, workflows, and workers in more places than ever before. Bringing those networks together under a common platform can simplify operations while maintaining the security, reliability, and control our business requires.”

Celona said Orion’s key innovation for robotics is control‑plane and data‑plane convergence. Traditionally, robots must “ pick a side ” between Wi‑Fi or private 5G, often from different vendors, and they can’t seamlessly move between networks.

Wi‑Fi may struggle with mobile robots, and private 5G can be capacity‑constrained for large overnight data transfers, noted the company. It said Orion enables a single SIM identity on the robot to authenticate on both Celona Wi‑Fi and Celona private 5G while maintaining the robot’s identity when moving between networks.
