In this episode of AnalystANGLE, theCUBE Research’s Bob Laliberte sits down with Celona CEO and co-founder Rajeev Shah to talk about the promise of private 5G and how Celona’s latest innovation, DeepSeek-R1, is positioned to transform the space. It’s a candid, future-facing discussion on network simplification, edge intelligence and enterprise agility.
Shah shares how Celona is applying cloud-era principles to private 5G, with DeepSeek-R1 acting as a catalyst for operational transformation. Laliberte draws compelling parallels between the Wi-Fi evolution and Celona’s architectural approach, emphasizing how DeepSeek-R1 bridges legacy complexity with modern performance demands across industrial and enterprise settings.
The conversation also highlights real-world deployment value. DeepSeek-R1 enables local data retention with centralized, cloud-based control — a model that addresses growing enterprise concerns around sovereignty and security, Shah explains. From logistics to petrochemicals, Shah sees this as a breakthrough moment for cost-effective, scalable and secure wireless networking.
