CENTUM has introduced Cellair, a compact airborne cellular system engineered to provide secure, reliable, and rapidly deployable communications for critical and tactical missions.
Revealed at XPONENTIAL 2025, Cellair enables mission teams to establish a private cellular network within minutes, offering immediate connectivity in environments where existing infrastructure is compromised or unavailable.
The system integrates all necessary services and protocols into a single device, allowing users to deploy, control, and manage a fully functional LTE/5G network without interfering with commercial cellular infrastructure. This ensures mission-critical voice and data exchange across all deployed assets, supporting coordinated operations in real time.
Designed for versatility, Cellair can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles, manned aircraft, and ground-based systems. Its lightweight form factor and rapid deployment capabilities make it ideal for defense, public safety, disaster response, and other high-stakes scenarios that demand uninterrupted communication.
Cellair’s performance and adaptability have already garnered attention at the highest levels; the system has been selected by NASA as part of its Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program Communications Architecture contract.
Héctor Estévez, CEO of CENTUM, said, “Cellair is aimed at critical situations when immediate communications are required, such as natural disasters, tactical missions or emergency situations. It’s a versatile system that can be integrated into different types of aircraft and makes operations more efficient.”
This inclusion highlights Cellair’s potential for supporting advanced missions in austere and remote environments, including future space exploration. CENTUM’s latest innovation offers a new standard in mobile, secure communication for teams operating at the edge, where every second counts.
Meet with CENTUM at XPONENTIAL 2025, Booth 3621.
