Celona AerLoc is a secure access network architecture that simplifies private 5G adoption for industrial enterprises by unifying IT and OT environments under a zero-trust framework. It addresses the fragmented “Frankenstein” security architectures caused by combining WiFi-based IT systems and air-gapped OT networks, which are often costly and complex to manage.
Unlike traditional VPN or cloud-based models, AerLoc uses SIM-based authentication and agentless zero-trust access to secure devices such as PLCs and sensors, integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise tools like firewalls, Cisco ISE, and Aruba ClearPass through open APIs. With dynamic policy enforcement and microslicing, it ensures strict traffic separation and real-time remediation at the network edge.
Ultimately, Celona AerLoc enhances existing enterprise security ecosystems, enabling secure, unified IT/OT operations and accelerating digital transformation across industrial environments.
