Wide-Area Industrial Wi-Fi for High-Density Environments with Stable Connectivity

As digital transformation continues to accelerate, technologies such as IoT, AI-powered surveillance cameras, and smart operation models—including Smart Factories, Smart Warehouses, Smart Resorts, and Smart Cities—are becoming increasingly widespread. As a result, a reliable network infrastructure has become a critical foundation for businesses across all industries.

However, setting up a reliable network across factories, warehouses, construction sites, resorts, industrial parks, and other large outdoor areas can be both costly and complex.

To overcome these challenges, NISHIO RENT ALL VIETNAM CO., LTD. provides nationwide rental services for PicoCELA, a next-generation industrial wireless Mesh Wi-Fi solution developed in Japan. It enables businesses to deploy and expand their network infrastructure faster and more flexibly while reducing deployment costs by up to 70% compared with traditional LAN cabling.

What is PicoCELA? How PicoCELA Works and Its Benefits

Founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 2008, PicoCELA is a pioneer in enterprise Mesh networking solutions. In January 2025, the company was officially listed on NASDAQ and has received investments from leading corporations, including Nishio Rent All, Kaga Electronics, Shimizu Corporation, Taisei Corporation, and Sojitz Corporation.

A key differentiator of PicoCELA is its proprietary PicoCELA Backhaul Engine (PBE), an exclusive wireless backhaul technology engineered to deliver high-performance, large-scale Mesh networking for enterprise environments.

In simple terms, PicoCELA is an Industrial Mesh Wi-Fi solution designed for enterprise environments. It delivers reliable wireless connectivity across large-scale sites, challenging environments, and high-density locations where many users need to connect simultaneously.

While conventional Wi-Fi access points are typically suitable for small offices, homes, or coverage areas of only a few dozen meters, PicoCELA is engineered to provide seamless wireless coverage across much larger environments, such as factories, warehouses, construction sites, resorts, container yards, and outdoor event venues.

PicoCELA devices form a wireless Mesh network without requiring Ethernet cables between individual access points. Once the main unit is connected to the wired LAN, all other units automatically connect to one another, enabling fast and flexible expansion of Wi-Fi coverage with minimal cabling.

As a result, businesses can build large-scale wireless networks covering several kilometers while significantly reducing the need for costly network cabling infrastructure.

Key features:

• Dynamic Tree-Route Control
• Ultra-Low Latency
• Superior Multi-Hop Capability
• Automatic Connection Recovery

Advantages of PicoCELA

Ideal for Large-Scale Environments and High-Density Users

Unlike conventional Wi-Fi, PicoCELA is built for large-scale environments. By automatically connecting multiple Mesh nodes, it provides stable, seamless wireless coverage for factories, warehouses, construction sites, event venues, and other locations with many simultaneous users.

Wireless Connectivity Without Ethernet Cabling

One of PicoCELA’s biggest advantages is its ability to connect devices wirelessly. With traditional Wi-Fi networks, each access point typically requires an Ethernet cable connection, increasing installation costs, labor, and deployment time while making future network expansion or relocation more difficult.

With PicoCELA, there is no need to run Ethernet cables to every access point. Instead, the devices connect to one another wirelessly, enabling faster, more flexible deployment while significantly reducing cabling requirements.

This solution is particularly effective for:

• Large sites where installing Ethernet cabling is expensive and time-consuming.
• Construction sites with constantly changing layouts that require a flexible network infrastructure.
• Factories that want to expand wireless coverage without modifying their existing cabling infrastructure.
• Resorts, golf courses, and tourist attractions where underground or overhead cabling is impractical.
• Outdoor events that require a temporary wireless network for short-term use.
• Warehouses and logistics centers that need to quickly expand Wi-Fi coverage as operations grow.

PicoCELA Technology – What Makes It Different from Regular Mesh Wi-Fi

PicoCELA is more than just a regular Mesh Wi-Fi system. Its key advantage lies in its proprietary PicoCELA Backhaul Engine (PBE) technology, which automatically establishes, manages, and optimizes wireless backhaul routes in real time. This enables the network to maintain stable connectivity, reduce latency, and automatically adapt to changes in the network environment.

With PBE technology, PicoCELA can:

• Automatically select the most efficient communication path.
• Support long-distance multi-hop wireless backhaul.
• Automatically switch to backup routes in the event of a connection failure.
• Minimize bandwidth loss as network coverage expands.
• Maintain stable connectivity for a large number of simultaneous devices.
• Deliver reliable performance in industrial and outdoor environments.

Thanks to these capabilities, PicoCELA is well suited for applications that require highly reliable wireless connectivity, including AI cameras, security surveillance systems, live streaming, industrial IoT, warehouse management, production monitoring, and construction site operations.

Reduce Infrastructure Costs and Save Deployment Time

By minimizing the need for LAN cabling, PicoCELA helps businesses significantly reduce deployment costs while making it easier to reconfigure or expand the network as operational requirements evolve.

With PicoCELA, businesses can:

• Reduce LAN cabling costs.
• Lower spending on installation materials and accessories.
• Shorten deployment and installation time.
• Minimize disruptions to daily operations and production.
• Easily expand the network or relocate devices as needed.
• Ideal for temporary installations and short-term projects.
• Optimize both initial investment and long-term operating costs.

A Durable Wi-Fi Device

PicoCELA is designed to meet the demands of industrial and outdoor environments.

Key advantages include:

• Dust and water resistance.
• Stable operation in various weather conditions.
• High-speed data transmission.
• Wider coverage than regular Wi-Fi devices.
• Support for a large number of simultaneous users and connected devices.
• Suitable for cameras, IoT devices, handheld terminals, and surveillance systems.

As a result, PicoCELA can operate reliably even in harsh environments, making it suitable for locations with high durability requirements.

Centralized Cloud-Based Network Management

PicoCELA comes with PicoManager, a centralized cloud-based network management and monitoring platform. This tool enables administrators to remotely monitor the entire network without having to inspect each device on-site.

With the management platform, businesses can:

• Centrally manage all PicoCELA devices.
• Monitor the operating status of each access point.
• Check the number of connected users.
• Monitor Internet speed and network traffic.
• View the connection quality between devices.
• Manage device locations on a map.
• Identify weak coverage areas or locations with suboptimal connection quality.
• Support remote troubleshooting and issue resolution.

This feature is especially beneficial for businesses operating multiple factories, branch offices, or sites, as well as those with devices deployed across large areas.

What Environments Is PicoCELA Suitable For?

Factories and Industrial Parks

PicoCELA supports the deployment of wireless networks in factories and industrial parks, providing reliable connectivity for surveillance cameras, tablets, handheld devices, IoT sensors, production management systems, and digital transformation solutions within manufacturing facilities.
