Ethernet ports
The Celona AP 22 has 1/2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port.
Power input
Celona AP 22 supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (PoE++) connectivity. PoE++ can be provided by
a PoE++ injector (AC to PoE power, included in the AP) or a PoE++ capable switch. The drawn
power is ≤ 51 W.
GPS
A Subminiature Version A (SMA) coaxial RF connector port is available for GPS. If obtaining
GPS lock is dicult, connecting a GPS puck to the Celona AP 22 may help achieve lock. The
GPS puck is typically placed closer to a window where there is line of sight visibility to the
sky and a cable is extended from the GPS puck to the SMA connector port for GPS on the
Celona AP 22.
Status LEDs and Interfaces
The Celona AP 22 has 2 LEDs providing the following visual statuses for System, 5G
Introduction
This document provides the necessary guidance to help the
user enable services on the Celona Indoor Access Point AP 22
capable of private 5G connectivity.
About the AP
Celona AP 22 is an indoor 5G NR access point as a part of
Celona’s 5G LAN solution portfolio, supporting Sub-6 Ghz
frequency bands(3.3–4.2 GHz). AP 22 oers highly deterministic
performance over the air including up to 1 Gbps aggregate
throughput, less than 10ms latency and exceptional coverage.
With an enterprise-ready operational model, Celona AP 22
access point is designed for mission-critical use cases in indoor
and semi-ruggedized environments. Like all Celona access
points, the AP 22 supports plug-and-play deployment, remote
provisioning, centralized cloud-based management, and
seamlessly integrates into the enterprise network.
Celona AP 22 is 3GPP Release 15 compliant 5G NR access point
that supports 2x2 MIMO, up to 256 QAM modulation, subcarrier
space of 30 KHz and can be ceiling or wall mounted.

Installation Overview
The Celona AP 22 can be wall or ceiling mounted and has two omni-
directional internal antennas. Internal antennas are down-tilt toward
the front of the AP. Before you mount and deploy your access point, we
recommend that you perform a wireless design to determine the best
location to install your access point.
The AP requires an operational Celona Edge for discovery and network
service. Celona recommends installation and deployment of the Celona Edge
prior to installation of access points. Have the following information about
your wireless network design available:
• Locations for access point installation
• Mounting requirements for each location: suspended from a drop-ceiling,
surface mount on a hard ceiling, or on a flat horizontal surface
Installing the access point involves the following steps:
1. Mounting the Access Point
2. Powering the Access Point
3. Access Point Discovery and Provisioning
4. Configuring the Access Point
Mounting the Access Point
The Celona mount kit supports several mounting methods,
including from a suspended drop-ceiling, hard surface ceiling,
and flat horizontal surfaces such as a wall. The standard mounting
hardware included with the AP supports these mounting methods.
