What Celerway Communication does

Celerway Communication AS is a Norwegian private company, founded in 2012 and headquartered in the Oslo/Fornebu area, that builds multi-WAN routers and edge-networking software for mission-critical mobile and field operations. The company sells ruggedized hardware appliances (the Xv, Xm, Arcus, Stratus 5G, Stratus 4G, and GO product lines) that run its proprietary CelerwayOS ("Edge Foundation"), a Linux-based platform featuring the FailSafe multi-WAN engine, Phantom VPN, real-time telemetry, and predictive network-degradation analysis. Underlying technology combines cellular/WAN aggregation with on-device policy, security, and orchestration, and the hardware is certified to MIL-STD-810G and E-Mark standards for harsh and in-vehicle deployments.

The company targets six verticals — emergency services, government, media, transportation, utilities, and enterprise security — with cited use cases including live broadcast of major events (Olympics, World Cup, Tour de France), public-safety fleets, and in-vehicle connectivity. Distribution runs through a partner and reseller channel reaching 50+ countries, supplemented by joint go-to-market with Palo Alto Networks (Technology Partner Program, Secure by Design AI Factories) and Fortinet, plus operator partnerships announced at MWC 2026 with Nokia, U Mobile, and Aeris. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but reflect a hardware-plus-software/edge-OS model: appliance sales plus ongoing CelerwayOS subscriptions and operator-channel integrations.

The firm operates with 11–50 employees under CEO and co-founder Audun Fosselie Hansen, with Per Buer as CIO and Kristian Evensen as CTO, Lead Developer, and Architect. Celerway holds four ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 27001, 45001), positioning it for public-sector and critical-infrastructure procurement. No external funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures have been disclosed.
