Network as a Service (NaaS)

Our Network as a Service (NaaS) solution empowers you with high-resolution data delivered via an existing cellular network that’s monitored, managed and maintained on your behalf. This eliminates the need for you to build or maintain your own gateway infrastructure and provides unmatched resiliency, security and performance.

Cell Tower

Simplified Network Deployment. Unmatched Flexibility.

  • Provides Utilities with Enhanced Flexibility. ORION® Cellular endpoints, combined with BEACON® Software as a Service (SaaS), provide 15-minute interval data at your fingertips without the daily operational and maintenance challenges associated with owning and maintaining a proprietary data-collector fixed network.
  • Simplifies Network Deployment. NaaS solutions greatly minimize deployment timelines because you do not need to erect radio towers or lease infrastructure space, allowing you to reap the benefits of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) almost immediately.
  • Involves a Single-Source Provider. There are no third-party network maintenance contracts to manage or cellular carrier contracts or negotiations to handle.

Exceptional Network Benefits.
No Infrastructure Management Required.

Industry-Leading Performance

Personnel Utilization

Daily network maintenance and management is taken care of for you, allowing your personnel to focus on other priorities.

Consistent Experience
