Endpoints

Orion Endpoints offer a variety of ways to help supply reads.

Fixed Network (SE)

ORION Fixed Network (SE) features high-powered meter endpoints and easy-to-use network data collectors to deliver precise daily meter information right to your desktop.

Features

  • Two-way communication
  • Hourly reading interval
  • Compatible with Badger Meter encoder registers
  • Premise leak detection

Benefits

  • Unlicensed, regulated FCC operation
  • Fixed network with full-time mobile back-up

Cellular LTE

Our ORION Cellular endpoint technology eliminates the need for utility-owned fixed network infrastructure, allows for rapid deployment and decreases ongoing maintenance (part of our BEACON AMA solution). Utilizing secure, existing cellular network infrastructure, the ORION Cellular endpoint is designed for maximum flexibility to meet a variety of your system and application needs.

Features

  • Two-way communication
  • 15-minute reading interval
  • Absolute encoder compatibility
  • Fixed network reading
  • Premise leak detection

Benefits

  • Uses secure, commercial cellular networks, eliminating costly infrastructure, gateway installation and ongoing maintenance
  • No need for infrastructure means a rapid deployment to virtually any service
  • Predetermined 15-minute data delivered to our BEACON Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) software suite and smartphone/tablet applications results in more efficient utility operation and increased customer service
  • Stores 42 days of 15-minute data for system redundancy and for capture via two-way communication
  • Field proven ORION endpoint technology

Migratable (ME)

Built on the successful ORION platform, the ORION Migratable (ME) is a two-way water endpoint for mobile applications with the capability of migrating to fixed network mode to support future utility capabilities. In addition to providing the current and snapped daily reading, the ORION Migratable endpoint two-way functionality allows users to capture data profile information wirelessly, without having to directly access the endpoint, during the normal reading process. An ORION Migratable endpoint is easily upgraded to an ORION Fixed Network endpoint (SE) through a software license.

Features

  • Two-way communication
  • Migratable endpoint to support future fixed network system deployment
  • Compatible with Badger Meter encoder registers
  • Premise leak detection

Benefits

  • Ability to provide enhanced customer service through data profile analysis
  • Unlicensed, regulated FCC operation
