Periodic Reporting for period 2 - Celerway GO mini (Celerway GO mini, your office network in your pocket)

Reporting period: 2022-12-01 to 2024-04-30

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The overall objective is to finalize and bring to market a solution that connects and secures everyone working remote. Small formfactor, high-speed 5G and portability is important to reach traction with global players. The solution connects the remote worker with resilient high-speed and securely to the enterprise network. The experience should be like working in the office from anywhere in the world, and as secure as in the office. The solution should be brought to the market by global partners that reach the Fortune 1000 companies.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

The design of the solution has been finalized with a few additions. We have added a second 5G module and compute capacity based on feedback from more than 70 global leaders representing end customers, carriers, service providers and tech alliances. These additions integrate the solution easily into any existing enterprise infrastructure and make adoption easier while extending the TAM from €7.5bn SDWAN market to €155bn edge computing market.

Even with the increased complexity in design, lab tests prove that the solution meets the requirements of carriers and authorities.

A functional assessment of attack vectors has been finalized, and penetration testing is concluded.

Final validation with global partners has been concluded successfully.

We have been in continuous dialogue with 15 pilot testers using the GO mini in different use case scenarios and spread to Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. They have also run some specific tests on our request.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

We have developed scalable communication between central management system and thousands of devices that minimise the data cost. AI-based algorithms to self-optimise network policies, security policies to avoid manual intervention by IT of thousands of SD-WAN devices.

We have identified security standards needed to be accepted into enterprise infrastructure.
Algorithms and protocols for automation and deployment should have been developed to make it simple for
the IT department and zero-touch use for the user. In period 2 we will get third party penetration testing and validation in field tests.

The design and prototypes of the tiny SD-WAN enterprise router that can simultaneously use 5G, LTE, and WiFi6 is finished.
Algorithms for antenna tuning and design have been developed, together with a layout integrated in the
plastic enclosure, and the VPN technology has been optimized.

Validation has been concluded with 15 pilot testers in various use cases.
