This Tech Field Day Showcase is sponsored by Celona and presented by Mehmet Yavuz, CTO and Co-Founder of Celona.
Key Insights: With the availability of private cellular spectrum options such as CBRS in the US, many organizations consider replacing their Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) with private LTE / 5G connectivity. In this Tech Field Day Showcase, Mehmet Yavuz, CTO and co-founder of Celona reviews how Celona 5G LANs can deliver on the promise of easily onboarding public MNO subscribers as “guest users”, each MNO assigned to a dedicated MicroSlicing QoS policy.
