Cellular Endpoints

ORION® Cellular endpoints are an evolution in AMI technology for water utilities, powering our Network as a Service (NaaS) approach. The innovative endpoints utilize existing cellular infrastructure for efficient and secure two-way communication of high-resolution meter reading data via cellular networks.

No Utility-Owned Infrastructure. Reliable Data Delivery.

For optimal coverage, performance and longevity, our ORION Cellular endpoints are supported by the most robust and reliable cellular carriers in North America.

  • Industry-Leading Performance. Leverages existing cellular networks managed and maintained by outside carriers, which minimizes potential downtime and ensures readings are completed without interruption.

  • Decreases Maintenance. Eliminates the need for utility-owned gateway infrastructure, in addition to installation and ongoing maintenance costs. Utilities can add new endpoints easily—without building new infrastructure.

  • End-to-End Security. Data is reliably and securely transmitted and received. We communicate data over a private network—not the public internet—and manage it according to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance standards.
