Satellite solves the coverage problem, but terrestrial networks—where available—typically deliver better performance. Lower latency, higher throughput, and often lower cost make terrestrial the preferred primary path when infrastructure exists.
Orion's technology-agnostic approach means we evaluate all options. For sites near existing terrestrial infrastructure, the optimal solution often combines terrestrial primary connectivity with satellite backup for resilience. This approach delivers best-of-both-worlds: terrestrial performance with satellite reliability.
Private and carrier mobile networks for sites with coverage. Private 5G/LTE networks provide dedicated capacity for demanding industrial applications; carrier services offer cost-effective connectivity where public networks reach.
Point-to-point wireless connectivity for line-of-sight paths. High capacity over distances from a few kilometres to 50+ kilometres depending on frequency and conditions.
Point-to-multipoint wireless for last-mile connectivity to multiple locations from a single base station. Cost-effective distribution within a local area.
Where fibre exists or construction is viable, it delivers exceptional capacity and reliability. We assess fibre options for sites where economics justify investment.
Terrestrial networks, while high-performing, have vulnerabilities: fibre can be cut, microwave paths blocked, mobile towers fail. For critical operations, terrestrial primary with satellite backup provides comprehensive resilience.
OpsSure multi-path solutions seamlessly integrate terrestrial and satellite paths with automatic failover. When the primary terrestrial connection fails, traffic shifts to satellite within milliseconds—maintaining connectivity while issues are resolved.
This integration requires careful design to ensure applications work correctly across paths with different characteristics. Our professional services team engineers solutions that maintain functionality regardless of active path.
We evaluate terrestrial options for every site assessment
