Celerway GO mini, your office network in your pocket

Project description

A secure connectivity solution for remote workers

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic rendered working from home the norm for millions of workers in the EU and beyond. This raises two issues. The first is how to ensure all employees who can work from home have the proper network connectivity to do so. The second is how to ensure proper security when remote employees work on unsecured networks at home or in a café. By developing a small light device that ensures a reliable, low latency connectivity, the EU-funded Celerway GO mini project will make it possible for remote workers to have a secure and reliable network connection from anywhere and with limited available networks.

Objective

Remote work has become common in todays Covid-19 world. It is expected that 60% of employees will continue to work remotely, even after the Covid-19 pandemic. But this poses 2 problems: how to ensure proper network connectivity for employees who do not always have access to reliable networks? And how to ensure proper security when working on unsecured networks at home or in public?
To resolve these quality and security issues, we have developed the Celerway GO mini, a holistic IT solution that will allow remote workers to have a secure and reliable network connection at home, in public and when roaming with limited available networks. Our solution will coma in the form of a small light device that connects to a computers USB port and will ensure a reliable, low latency and fast 4G/LTE/5G connectivity (even when using our VPN) with SD-WAN capabilities. It will enable remote workers to continue working securely in a variety of settings, and despite limited network availability.
