Description

The Celona AP-12 is a compact indoor LTE access point purpose-built for enterprise deployments in the CBRS Band 48 spectrum. It offers up to 25,000 square feet of coverage and is ideal for indoor environments such as warehouses, office buildings, clinics, and schools. Its sleek form factor supports both wall and ceiling mounting, and integrates easily into existing Ethernet infrastructure.

With 2x2 MIMO, internal antennas, and up to 40 MHz of channel bandwidth through carrier aggregation, the AP-12 offers reliable indoor LTE coverage with low latency. The unit is centrally managed via Celona Orchestrator and connects to Celona Edge for core network functions. This model supports operation in Band 48.

Deployment Requirements

To deploy the Celona AP-12, you’ll need:

  • SAS registration: Required for CBRS Band 48 use. Celona manages this via the Orchestrator platform.
  • Celona Edge and Orchestrator: Required for SIM provisioning, device management, and LTE core networking.
  • IP backhaul: Uses standard Ethernet for connectivity. Includes both RJ-45 and SFP ports for future use.
  • Power and mounting: Supports 802.3at PoE+ or 12V DC power (AC adapter included). Requires indoor wall or ceiling mounting.
  • GPS timing: GPS port and support for IEEE 1588v2 PTP included. External GPS antenna not included but can be added if needed.
  • Environmental considerations: Suitable for clean indoor environments. Operating temperature: -5°C to 45°C. IP rating not specified.

Setting up a private network can get involved — from hardware selection and integration, to network design, software configuration, and user device onboarding.
