ORION® Cellular Endpoints No Infrastructure. Rapid Deployment
ORION® Cellular endpoints are an evolution in AMI technology, strengthened by the Network as a Service (NaaS) approach. The innovative endpoints utilize existing IoT (Internet of Things) cellular infrastructure to efficiently and securely accomplish two-way communication of meter reading data via the LTE-M cellular network.
AMI Without the Infrastructure.
NaaS solution utilizes existing IoT (Internet of Things) cellular infrastructure to efficiently and securely deliver meter reading data to the utility via the reliable cellular network, eliminating the need for standard, utility-owned infrastructure.
