What Cellium does

Cellium Technologies Ltd. is an Israeli private company headquartered at 26 Habarzel Street, Tel Aviv, founded in 2016, that designs and sells in-building wireless connectivity infrastructure built around its EdgeAir antenna sub-system. The core of the platform is a proprietary System-on-a-Chip (CEL1000/CEL2000) implementing a patented Distributed Intermediate Frequency (IF) method: any Sub-7 GHz RF signal from Cellular LTE, 5G-NR, Wi-Fi, or IoT sources is down-converted at the base/interface unit to IF for transport over existing in-wall CATx Ethernet copper or coaxial cabling, then up-converted at remote units (CRUs) back to the original RF, avoiding digital-to-analog conversion or compression and preserving MIMO signal integrity.

Core offering

Cellium designs and sells the EdgeAir antenna sub-system, a hardware platform built around its proprietary CEL1000/CEL2000 SoC that converts sub-7 GHz outdoor RF signals (LTE, 5G-NR, Wi-Fi, IoT) from any third-party RAN equipment into Intermediate Frequency and distributes them over existing in-building CATx Ethernet or coaxial cabling to multiple remote antenna units, then back to RF at the antenna. The product family is offered in variants for Mobile Network Operators, private 5G networks, multi-tenant and neutral host deployments, plus a Lite version for SOHO/SME environments.

Product overview

Cellium offers a unified platform-based product architecture centered on the EdgeAir antenna sub-system. The EdgeAir system integrates Cellium's proprietary SoC (System-on-a-Chip) and provides high-performance, technology-agnostic indoor wireless coverage across LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi and IoT networks. The product family includes multiple variants: EdgeAir 'C' (Carrier) for mobile network operators, 'P' (Private) for private enterprise networks, 'M' (Multi-Tenant) for multi-MNO buildings, 'N' (Neutral Host) for RAN sharing deployments, and EdgeAir Lite for SOHO/SME environments. Core hardware components include the Interface Unit (CIU/CIU-M), Expander Unit (CEU), Remote Unit (CRU), and Base Unit (CBU), all working together to distribute RF signals over standard CATx Ethernet or coaxial cables with no digital-to-analog conversion or signal degradation.

Brands

• EdgeAir: Cellium's EdgeAir antenna subsystem enables the distribution of a wide sub-7GHz RF spectrum between a base unit and multiple distributed radio units over standard CATx Ethernet or Coax cables in the most efficient, high performance, and cost-effective way. EdgeAir is a RAN technology agnostic active antenna indoor wireless system for in-building coverage.

Products and services

• EdgeAir 'C' (Carrier) Family EdgeAir system variant designed for Mobile Network Operator (MNO) deployment with NSA or SA topology. A single remote unit can transmit and receive both 5G-NR and/or LTE, reducing the cost of installation and real-estate of multiple units.
• EdgeAir 'P' (Private) Family EdgeAir system variant designed for private 5G-NR network deployment utilizing existing or greenfield CATx infrastructure to distribute cellular alongside existing LAN/Wi-Fi, supporting up to 64 CRUs and SA-based 5G-NR alongside 3rd party Wi-Fi equipment.
• EdgeAir 'M' (Multi-Tenant) Family EdgeAir system variant designed for multi-MNO deployment with NSA or SA topology, allowing multiple operators to share indoor infrastructure with a single remote unit capable of transmitting/receiving both 5G-NR and LTE to reduce CAPEX, OPEX and installation cost.
• EdgeAir 'N' (Neutral Host) Family EdgeAir neutral host solution supporting 4G and/or 5G-NR RAN Sharing (MOCN) deployment with NSA or SA topology, enabling multiple MNOs to share indoor infrastructure efficiently via CIU/CEU/CRU components.
• EdgeAir Lite Cost-effective EdgeAir variant for SOHO and SMEs covering buildings up to ~100,000 sq ft (10,000 m2), consisting of a Base Unit (CBU) and CRU elements for both private and public network use cases.
• EdgeAir CIU (Interface Unit) Interface Unit that interacts with third-party RAN equipment (LTE and 5G-NR) via four antenna ports and connects via CATx cables to the EdgeAir CEU (Expander Unit).
• EdgeAir CEU (Expander Unit) Expander Unit that connects to the CIU with eight CRU ports and supports one level of cascading or up to eight additional CEUs to provide up to 64 CRU ports per deployment.
• EdgeAir CRU (Remote Unit) Multi-RAT Active Antenna Remote Unit that connects to the CEU and provides 5G-NR and/or LTE transmission and reception capabilities, scaling EdgeAir coverage across the in-building space.
• EdgeAir CBU (Base Unit) Base Unit with 4 RF ports connecting to third-party RAN equipment supporting 5G-NR and/or LTE, used as the head-end of EdgeAir Lite deployments and supporting cascading up to 8 CRUs.

Direct peers

• JMA Wireless: JMA Wireless is a leading US-based manufacturer of DAS, small cells, and in-building wireless systems for MNOs, enterprises, and venues. It directly competes with Cellium's EdgeAir in indoor cellular coverage with a comparable vendor-agnostic positioning and similar MNO/enterprise channel.
• Airspan Networks: Airspan is a vendor of small cells, Open RAN, and private 4G/5G network infrastructure serving MNOs and enterprises. It overlaps with Cellium's private-network and MNO indoor deployment offerings, particularly the EdgeAir 'P' (Private) and 'C' (Carrier) families.
• Boingo Wireless: Boingo specializes in neutral-host and managed DAS/Wi-Fi for large venues, airports, and multi-tenant buildings. Its neutral-host and multi-MNO indoor wireless model is directly comparable to Cellium's EdgeAir 'M' (Multi-Tenant) and 'N' (Neutral Host) families.
• Solid Technologies: Solid is an Israeli-headquartered vendor of in-building and outdoor wireless distribution systems (including DAS and small-cell solutions) for MNOs and enterprises. It is a close geographic and product peer competing with Cellium in similar indoor distributed antenna deployments.

Broad incumbents

• CommScope: CommScope is a global incumbent vendor of in-building wireless (ERA/ION-B), small cells, and broader connectivity hardware. Its indoor wireless portfolio overlaps directly with EdgeAir's C/M/N families, though as part of a much wider networking infrastructure franchise.
• Corning Incorporated: Corning (including its optical communications + wireless acquisitions such as SpiderCloud) provides in-building small-cell and DAS-style solutions for enterprise and carrier customers. It competes with Cellium in private 5G / neutral host indoor cellular, but as part of a much larger materials and fiber-optics conglomerate.
• Ericsson (Ericsson DOT): Ericsson's Ericsson DOT system is a high-end indoor radio dot solution sold alongside Ericsson's macro RAN to MNOs and enterprises. It competes with EdgeAir's MNO/Carrier family but is embedded in Ericsson's much larger end-to-end mobile networks business.
• Nokia (AirScale / in-building): Nokia offers AirScale small cells and in-building wireless for MNOs and private networks under its broader mobile networks franchise. It is comparable to Cellium across carrier-grade indoor cellular and private 5G but with very different scale and a bundled RAN go-to-market.

Emerging players

• Celona: Celona provides an enterprise private 5G/LTE platform (Aerolink) using CBRS spectrum, targeting the same enterprise verticals Cellium pursues (retail, healthcare, education). It is more software/cloud-focused and complements rather than directly replaces Cellium's EdgeAir 'P' family for distributed indoor coverage.
• Mavenir: Mavenir provides cloud-native and Open RAN wireless infrastructure including small cells and indoor solutions for MNOs and private networks. It overlaps with Cellium on vendor-agnostic indoor coverage hardware, though Mavenir is more software/CU-focused.
