    Experience and expertise


    From start to finish, every project we work on is delivered by Orion staff and products, resulting in a quick and seamless process. As part of the IPA Group, and through our global Thaicom network, we have over $3.5 billion dollars of assets in space, showing our commitment to being the foremost provider of satellite services in the Southern Hemisphere.

    As well as our local experts, we have access to an extensive directory of satellite experts. Avoid frustrating call centres and talk directly with our friendly experts when you need to.
    Orion is a division of IPA Group also known as IPSTAR Australia, specialising in satellite services and different types of satellite communication.

    7000+ Connections

    For nearly two decades, Orion has been providing connectivity without borders, geo-remote and critical connectivity to Australia & New Zealand based businesses. In this time we have secured and supplied more than 7,000 connections, regardless of location or existing infrastructure.

    We experience a high amount of repeat business and customer referrals. This is testament to our ability to work collaboratively and efficiently with organisations across multiple industries.

    Global network footprint

    As part of the global Thaicom network, Orion’s satellite has a connectivity footprint spanning 10 countries. From West Africa to New Zealand, China to Australia and anywhere in between, we will connect you.

    Beyond Orion’s own satellite footprint, we have access to Thaicom’s full catalogue of satellites if required. Our extensive footprint enables us to deliver connectivity without borders to our local customers and ensure the continuation of service needed by all of our customers.

    Local Specialists

    All of our staff live and breathe connectivity. Our local experts are approachable and share a common goal of providing customers with the right solution for their needs, 24/7. Through our parent company, Thaicom, we have access to even more specialists, each bringing fresh connectivity solutions ideas.

    We know the importance of quick and helpful assistance, as well as specialised, expert guidance. That’s why we train local experts in remote areas and use transport specialists to make sure location is no obstacle for our service.
