Rekuten Symphony and Celona are collaborating on end-to-end open RAN-based private 5G solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of large- and medium-sized enterprises. 

The collaboration will bring together Rakuten Symphony’s compact enterprise-scale cloud-native 5G open RAN infrastructure with Celona’s 5G LAN enterprise platform.

Designed on O-RAN specifications, the solutions will provide radio flexibility and work across spectrum bands, giving enterprises flexibility while increasing efficiency, reducing total cost of ownership and accelerating return on investment. They will also be pre-integrated, enabling faster, more seamless deployments across a wide range of industries, including global logistics, manufacturing, agriculture, ports, mining and more.

Anirban Chakravartti, SVP and Global Head of Sales for Rakuten Symphony's Enterprise Business, said "we will be removing deployment barriers to enable flexibility, and future-proofing networks to support evolving IoT and mission-critical use cases, enabling enterprises to stay focused on their core operations.”
