The hottest networking startups of 2023 are focused on the edge, private 5G and cellular networking, and SASE.

Celona
Startup Celona burst onto the networking scene in 2020 with a platform that lets enterprises create 5G/4G LTE private networks, which filled a major gap in the wireless connectivity market at the time. Private networking has since become more attractive to channel partners and enterprises.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company goes to market via a strategic partnership with Aruba Networks for the reselling of Celona’s cellular products. Channel-friendly Celona in 2022 launched a new solution provider partner program on the heels of bringing on its first channel chief and closing its oversubscribed $60 million Series C funding round. The partner program, Fanatics, gives resellers, MSPs and systems integrators a formal way to interact with and register private 5G and LTE deals with Celona.
