In today’s interconnected world, reliable and efficient connectivity has become an absolute necessity for local governments. The Orion Satellite Systems team understands the unique challenges that councils face, especially in remote and rural areas, where connectivity can be sporadic. Orion is here to shed light on how satellite connectivity can support your council, bringing forth an era of improved communication and operational efficiency.

Orion Satellite Systems has a proven track record of providing innovative connectivity solutions to a variety of industries. Local governments can trust us to deliver exceptional satellite connectivity services tailored to their specific needs. Our commitment to reliability and expertise has made us trusted advisors in the field.

How satellite connectivity can support your council

Cost is often a major concern for local governments, but recent advancements in satellite technology, such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, have removed the traditional cost barrier. What used to be a significant expense can now be a cost-effective solution, making satellite connectivity more accessible than ever.

With advancements in technology, the cost of satellite solutions has significantly decreased. What might have cost $10,000 a year ago can now be as affordable as $1,500 per month, making satellite a feasible option for even the smallest, most remote communities.

Connectivity in remote areas and rural towns

Not every council may need satellite connectivity, but for those with remote sites or rural towns, it can be a gamechanger. Satellite connectivity is a highly reliable, always up service even in areas where traditional connectivity can be unreliable or sporadic. Our solutions are designed to bridge the digital divide and keep your operations running smoothly, regardless of location.

Additionally, many councils have remote sites or face challenges in areas with poor coverage. Orion Satellite Systems can help you connect these sites efficiently and offer redundancy, guaranteeing that you stay connected even in the most challenging conditions.

Redundancy: your safety net during emergencies

In areas with unreliable infrastructure, having a satellite connection as a redundancy backup is a crucial safety net. Natural disasters like floods or fires can wreak havoc on local infrastructure. Orion Satellite Systems can swiftly restore your connectivity post-disaster, ensuring that you remain operational and can coordinate relief efforts effectively.

Unlocking possibilities with multi-orbit solutions

With Orion’s Multi Orbit Solutions, you gain access to multiple satellites. You are not confined to a single orbit that may not align with your specific requirements. Orion’s satellite-agnostic approach empowers us to tailor the most optimal asset combinations to meet your needs, whether it involves Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), or Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. We provide adaptable and cost-effective packages that come with genuine redundancy.

Why Orion satellite systems

Orion Satellite Systems offers a reliable, cost-effective, and versatile solution for local governments seeking to gain or improve their connectivity in remote and rural areas. Our expertise in satellite technology and commitment to customer satisfaction make us the trusted partner you need to enhance your operations. Don’t let unreliable connectivity hold your community back. Reach out to us today, and let’s explore how satellite connectivity can support your council’s goals!
