OneLayer Launches Technological Alliance Program for Secure Private Cellular Networks

OneLayer, a leader in the management of LTE and 5G private assets as well as Zero Trust security, announced the introduction of its Technological Alliance Program (TAP), designed to create a certified ecosystem of integrations with tech partners. This initiative is set to enhance the implementation of secure private cellular networks for businesses.

The TAP program encompasses a range of strategic partners, including prominent names like Check Point, Claroty, Digi International, Druid Software, Ericsson, Fortinet, Kigen, Nokia, Semtech, and Teltonika. Through these collaborations, OneLayer aims to streamline network infrastructure, security, and IT/OT operations, ensuring seamless device management and SIM technology integration.

In leading this initiative, OneLayer positions itself as the orchestration and security layer connecting private cellular infrastructure to enterprise security and IT environments. By doing so, it ensures that clients can deploy private cellular networks with the same level of confidence, visibility, and control as they do with traditional components of their operational framework.

Client-Centric Approach

The essence of the TAP is its client-centric design, where each integration focuses on solving specific operational challenges. The solutions derived from this program are engineered to provide capabilities that no standalone product can match, including:

• - Complete Visibility of the Technology Stack: OneLayer's visibility and device identification capabilities are integrated with core cellular networks, cellular routers, Configuration Management Database (CMDB), and IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms, providing a unified view of every device on the private cellular network.
• - Application of Zero Trust Policy: The integration with next-gen firewalls and network access control platforms extends the Zero Trust policy application to private LTE and 5G devices, enforcing granular device context.
• - Visibility Beyond Cellular Routers: Collaborations with cellular routers and management platforms allow for insights into non-cellular devices connected behind the routers, extending policy application and segmentation.
• - Automated Device Onboarding: Integrations with private cellular cores, SIM providers, and device management platforms automate detection, authentication, and onboarding processes, reducing the operational strain associated with managing private cellular networks.
• - Operational Technology Security Coverage: The integrations allow for the cellular network context to merge with existing operational security workflows, supporting anomaly detection and incident response without necessitating the creation of new procedures.

Structure of the Program

To maintain reliability and comprehensive support for clients, each TAP partner undergoes a certification process with OneLayer. Certified partners are featured in OneLayer’s directory of recommendations and integrations. They receive support in marketing and joint sales initiatives, engage in collaborative solution workshops, contribute to the API road map, and gain access to a dedicated alliance manager along with the OneLayer TAP badge.

As stated by Amir Bushehri, Digi International’s Director of Strategic Alliances, "Our clients require enterprise-grade connectivity and security for integrated work, and our collaboration with OneLayer delivers precisely that."

Loic Bonvarlet, senior vice president of Ecosystem and Marketing at Kigen, adds, "Our partnership with OneLayer simplifies SIM provisioning in private networks, enabling enterprises to connect and operationalize their devices more effortlessly."

The TAP-certified integrations cover all essential categories within the private cellular technology stack, such as network infrastructure, customer premises equipment (CPE) including routers and cellular USB modems, security solutions, IT/OT operations, SIM management, and connected devices, alongside features like push-to-talk and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

Leadership and Next Steps

The Technological Alliance Program is spearheaded by Daniel Curci, OneLayer's Director of Technological Alliances, responsible for overseeing joint solutions development, integration, partner certification, and co-marketing efforts.
