As enterprises rapidly expand private LTE and 5G deployments, they increasingly encounter critical challenges around device visibility and network security—especially across multi-carrier private APN environments. Traditional IT tools, which were never designed for these complex cellular ecosystems, often fall short. To address this growing gap, OneLayer has introduced its Sentry Program, a partner-driven initiative aimed at delivering advanced Zero Trust network access, automated SIM provisioning, and unified visibility across diverse carrier networks.

With the rise of private cellular networks, organizations now demand more than just connectivity. They require end-to-end security, seamless device management, and operational control. In response, OneLayer has empowered its Sentry-certified partners with the ability to deploy a centralized management platform that offers a “single pane of glass” view across all carrier deployments. This approach not only enhances visibility but also simplifies policy enforcement and strengthens overall network security.

Moreover, the Sentry Program introduces a robust commercial framework designed to support both new business acquisition and long-term customer retention. Partners benefit from complimentary access to OneLayer Scout for pre-deployment assessments, including site surveys and device inventory analysis. Additionally, the program provides Market Development Funds (MDF), SPIF incentives, and deal registration margins to drive partner success. To further strengthen expertise, OneLayer offers sales and technical certifications, ensuring partners can effectively design, sell, and deploy its solutions.

Importantly, OneLayer integrates seamlessly with a wide ecosystem of industry leaders such as Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, HPE Athonet, Druid, Celona, Digi, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and ServiceNow. This interoperability enables enterprises to build flexible and scalable private cellular infrastructures without compromising on security.

Leadership for the program comes from Trevor Failor, Director of Strategic Alliances, alongside Ray Clounch, Channel Technical Director. Together, they bring deep expertise in enterprise cybersecurity and private wireless deployments, ensuring the program aligns with real-world enterprise needs.

Tyler Larkin, General Manager of Cellular Networking Solutions at MCA, said, “Cellular APN customers have struggled to identify and secure devices used across multiple carriers, OneLayer’s platform provides the single pane of glass to monitor and enforce policies universally.”

Joe Walsh, CEO of Heddian, emphasized the critical nature of infrastructure security, stating, “Utility networks are critical communications infrastructure, and the stakes for device visibility and security across those environments have never been higher, OneLayer gives utilities the control and insight they need to manage and secure every device on their private and carrier APN networks, and the Sentry Program gives us the structure to deliver that at scale.”

Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer, added, “Enterprises are deploying private cellular networks at unprecedented scale, and the partners who support those deployments determine whether those networks are secure, visible, and operationally sound, The Sentry Program is our commitment to giving those partners the tools, economics, and certification they need to build high-value practices around private cellular security.”

Daniel Bayouth, PE, Director of Networks & Wireless at Burns & McDonnell, shared, “Burns & McDonnell has been actively working on one of the hard, yet unseen challenges, of standing up a private cellular network: Low-touch provisioning, OneLayer will play a critical role, the collaboration has been fantastic.”

Bob Olwig, Executive Vice President of Global Partner Alliances at World Wide Technology, noted, “Private cellular is moving fast, and our customers need solutions that combine connectivity with security and operational control, The Sentry Program gives us a structured path to build and scale that capability for our clients.”

Christopher Mahar, CEO of CID Group, stated, “Private cellular and carrier APN deployments are increasingly central to how our enterprise customers operate, yet visibility and security across those environments has remained a persistent gap, OneLayer closes that gap in a way that maps directly to what our customers need, and the Sentry Program gives us a clear, supported path to deliver it.”

Peter Cappiello, CEO of Future Technologies Venture, added, “Private cellular deployments are growing in complexity, and our customers expect us to deliver security and visibility alongside connectivity, OneLayer is a natural extension of what we already bring to market, strengthening our ability to deliver trusted, end-to-end solutions.”

Ed Walton, CEO of STEP CG, concluded, “As private cellular moves into large-scale, complex enterprise deployments, the bar has shifted. Connectivity is table stakes — security and device visibility must be native to the network, OneLayer meets that standard, and the Sentry Program enables us to operationalize it across any customer environment.”

Overall, the launch of the Sentry Program marks a significant step forward in securing private cellular networks. As enterprises continue to scale their deployments, solutions like OneLayer’s will play a crucial role in ensuring visibility, security, and operational efficiency across increasingly complex environments.
