AI Factories Need Private 5G From Celona
AI‑driven data centers are evolving into high‑density "AI factories" that generate extreme electromagnetic interference, rendering traditional Wi‑Fi unreliable. Celona proposes a private 5G network that delivers roughly 30 dB more noise immunity, maintaining connections down to -90 dBm RSSI. This resilience enables technicians to use cloud‑linked diagnostic tools, AR glasses, and future autonomous robots without dropped links. The result is a more reliable, faster‑to‑deploy wireless layer that protects multi‑million‑dollar compute workloads.
