This unassuming grey cylinder, called an ORION® Cellular Endpoint, is designed to thrive underground on battery power for up to 20 years. Capturing 96 water meter readings a day, this small marvel helps homeowners, businesses and water utilities understand water usage so that they can conserve water, address water scarcity, comply with evolving regulations, protect customer data, invest in infrastructure improvements, lower operational burdens, sustain confident water bills, and grow local goodwill as utilities across the state and the country work hard to deliver one of our most precious resources – water. This small marvel is packed with technology that links millions of water meters to thousands of water utility operating systems in diverse geographical environments through Cellular networks. First-to-market more than 10 years ago, ORION® Cellular was recently selected as the first smart water device to receive the prestigious CTIA recognition of IoT Network Certification for Smart Connected Infrastructure for Smart Water systems. Manufactured in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, the ORION Cellular Endpoint, by Badger Meter is quietly working every day to keep our water networks operating efficiently and making so many of these other cool Wisconsin products possible.
