Private wireless specialist Celona has launched an automated eSIM solution that works with enterprise mobile device management (MDM) systems such as JAMF and AirWatch. The new automated eSIM solution streamlines onboarding of cellular-capable (CBRS) devices for use on Celona private cellular wireless networks.

MDM systems are used widely to configure, manage and secure hundreds or thousands of end devices on their networks. Through the use of custom APIs, the new automated eSIM enables MDM systems to provision cellular-capable devices for use on Celona 5G LANs.

Instead of requiring users to download and install eSIMs on their devices manually, Celona’s eSIM automation integrates with enterprise MDM systems. The MDM system automatically obtains the eSIM location for a specific device and pushes this configuration to the device kicking off a zero-touch download and install of a distinct eSIM without user input. Customers are able to reset the status of eSIMs if they want to use the eSIM on different devices. 

Once eSIMs are installed on the end devices, individual or a groupof SIMs are easily activated, reactivated, or reset from the Celona Orchestrator.

“As private wireless networks quickly become mainstream, we are continuing to deliver unique innovations that remove any barriers experienced by enterprise IT staff,” said Puneet Shetty, VP of Products at Celona.

“Automating mobile device management and reducing the friction of securely provisioning user equipment (UE) on private wireless networks is a big win for everyone,” said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research. “While it may seem inconsequential to many, these types of innovations are precisely what’s needed to supercharge the market for the private wireless market.”
