The Orion Data Network
The Orion Data Network provides real-time data with unlimited solutions.
Smarter Technologies’ privately-owned Orion Data Network is the world’s first fully end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) low-power radio network solution. This unique and proven system was developed alongside our long-standing involvement in the tracking and recovery of high-value assets such as cash in transit.
The Orion Data Network combines radio frequency identification (RFID) and GPS asset tracking and security to create a low-power, long-range digital data network consisting of Orion gateways and tags. Gateways listen, and the tags report on the location and status of almost any assets—every two minutes when static, every 30 seconds when in motion.
Reporting on a wealth of data, the Orion Data Network delivers unparalleled real-time asset viability and security solutions.
What makes Orion different?

Global Data Network
The supply chain tracking network of choice for blue-chip companies and SMEs: the Orion Data Network can be deployed anywhere in the world quickly and cost-effectively.
Unlimited Applications
Almost any asset or application that requires real-time data transmission can join the Orion Data Network. Hardware and software can be tailored to meet companies’ real-time data requirements.
Scalable
Scale without limitations and create a private data and security network tailored to your organisation’s supply chain requirements.
Smart Technology
Orion GPS RFID tags learn their environment by gathering thousands of pieces of data every second. After a short learning period, unusual behaviour patterns can be identified and preventative measures deployed.
Reduce Commercial Costs
Joining the Orion Data Network could save your organisation up to 75% of the cost of comparable technologies. Reducing cost by way of asset utilisation also has a positive corollary effect of reducing carbon emissions.
Intelligent Data
Orion’s back-end infrastructure has been developed with user experience in mind. The result is a suite of APIs and an online asset management system capable of managing all of your physical assets and billing reports with ease.
How Does Orion Work?
- The Orion Gateway plugs easily into an existing Ethernet port
- Gateways control key access points in real-time
- Operates on a low-frequency radio signal
- Long-range coverage – 500 meters to a 10-kilometre radius of each gateway
- Orion tags report in real time
- Switch tags for smoke detectors and fire systems
- Tags for monitoring temperature and other conditions
- Tag directly what is important to you and your business
- Directional antennas for targeted localisation
Applications
We live in an increasingly digital world, where smart sensors that can detect information from the physical world and perform specified instructions or relay the data to other systems are becoming an integral part of new product designs.
The Orion Data Networks offers a huge range of application possibilities—almost any asset or application that could benefit from real-time data transmission can join the Orion Data Network. We’ll tailor both hardware and software to meet your company’s specific real-time data requirements.
