Celona's Orion puts private 5G, Wi-Fi 7, cellular and satellite behind one robot identity

Celona launched Orion on 12 August 2026, a platform that unifies private 5G, Wi-Fi 7, public cellular and satellite connectivity under a single network with one authentication identity, so a mobile robot can switch links on performance instead of being locked to one vendor's Wi-Fi or private 5G. Celona pairs it with AI agents for network operations: Celona Brain, which the company describes as a digital twin of a Celona engineer, plus Orchestrator agents for troubleshooting and management without constant human intervention. Capabilities arrive in phases from the fourth quarter of 2026.

What it means Single-identity roaming across 5G and Wi-Fi removes the fleet-design constraint that has forced warehouse robots to be specified around one radio, though nothing here is testable until the phased Q4 rollout.
