Private 5G networks provide high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for enterprises of all sizes. However, deploying these networks, whether in a single building or across multiple sites, can be challenging, especially for small and medium businesses. Many implementations require extensive integration of on-premises servers and controller hardware, increasing both cost and setup time.

Chorus, by Ataya and Moso Networks, addresses these challenges with a plug-and-play private 5G solution. This cloud-managed, all-in-one access point (AP) integrates the radio, core, and orchestration stack into a secure, all-in-one unit.

With zero-touch provisioning, the Chorus AP installs as easily as Wi-Fi and delivers carrier-grade performance using just SIM cards and an Ethernet uplink. By eliminating the need for external servers or controller appliances, Chorus lowers adoption barriers and accelerates private 5G rollouts. The industry’s first commercially available AP-only private 5G solution, Chorus has been proven in real-world deployments across key industries since early 2024, offering enterprises an efficient, cost-effective alternative to beta-stage or multi-box systems.

Chorus vs. Conventional Private 5G: Why It Matters
Most private 5G networks rely on multiple hardware components, such as dedicated core servers, on-site controller appliances, and orchestration platforms from third-party vendors. These complex deployments often require licensed integration specialists to configure, connect, and maintain, driving up costs and extending installation timelines.

Chorus consolidates private 5G infrastructure into a single access point with built-in core processing and integrated orchestration. This AP-only architecture delivers up to 5x cost reduction compared to traditional private 5G deployments while eliminating 90% of on-site hardware requirements, including racks, controller appliances, and on-site data centers. It maintains full network control, enforces policy, and authenticates users, while supporting local breakout to reduce backhaul congestion and latency.

Supporting true zero-touch provisioning, Chorus deploys rapidly without the need for specialized cellular expertise. Once powered and connected, each AP automatically joins the cloud-managed platform using preconfigured settings, eliminating the need for manual setup or on-site controllers.

Cloud-Native Control with On-Premises Data
Chorus combines centralized cloud orchestration with on-premises data handling to optimize scalability, minimize latency, and protect sensitive information. Its cloud-native control plane allows IT and OT teams to easily configure, monitor, and manage private 5G networks through a single interface, regardless of AP count or location. 

Each Chorus AP enforces secure segmentation, mutual authentication, and encrypted transport via IPSec tunnels. These security controls comply with international standards while maintaining high throughput for bandwidth-intensive workloads. The platform’s multi-tenant interface simplifies provisioning, role-based access, and lifecycle management across distributed sites, reducing operational overhead and supporting services at scale.

Real-World Applications
Chorus APs deliver high-performance 5G connectivity for real-time analytics, low-latency control, and AI-driven automation. Indoor and outdoor models, powered by Qualcomm’s FSM200 5G RAN platform, support 3GPP Release 16 and 17 features such as 5G RedCap, dual-carrier aggregation, ORAN integration, and multi-band operation across CBRS and licensed spectrum.

Chorus supports deployments at any scale—from a single AP to full campus coverage—across the following industries:  

• Logistics and manufacturing: Connects autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), scanners, and sensors across large facilities, delivering seamless mobility, reliable handovers, and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC) performance for factory automation. 
• Retail: Offers secure, reliable connectivity for point-of-sale systems, surveillance, customer analytics, and in-store applications. 
• Smart campuses and education: Delivers high-bandwidth connectivity for AR/VR, 4K video, secure collaboration, and IoT infrastructure. 
• Industrial and energy: Supports remote deployment for autonomous systems, heavy equipment monitoring, sensor data collection, and edge analytics. 

Built with TAA-compliant hardware, Chorus meets stringent government and critical infrastructure requirements.

Summary
Chorus APs simplify private 5G network deployments by combining access, control, and orchestration in a single device. This integrated, cost-effective approach delivers secure, scalable connectivity with Wi-Fi-like simplicity and carrier-grade performance. Whether supporting a single site or scaling across multiple locations, Chorus offers a faster path to private 5G.
