What is Orion Wifi?
Orion Wifi lets businesses sell capacity on their existing Wi-Fi network to cellular carriers.
Orion Wifi is designed for public venues -- businesses with lots of public visitors. Examples: big-box stores, malls, stadiums, downtown districts, hotels, airports, hospitals, office buildings, residential buildings, convention centers.
Orion Wifi is a new kind of ‘Wi-Fi Offload’. Wi-Fi Offload improves connectivity for your visitors and earns you revenue. It’s often used in places like airports and stadiums. Until now, Wi-Fi Offload was really complicated and really expensive to implement.
Orion Wifi makes it easy, quick, and free. Now, even small locations can offer better connectivity to their visitors and earn revenue from their existing Wi-Fi network.
Is my Wi-Fi network compatible with Orion Wifi?
Very likely yes, if you have a commercial-grade Wi-Fi system.
Orion Wifi works with most commercial and enterprise Wi-Fi networks, such as those from Cisco, Ruckus, Meraki, and Juniper Mist.
Consumer-grade Wi-Fi access points are NOT SUPPORTED. Consumer Wi-Fi routers (like Netgear, Linksys, Eero, Nest Wifi, Asus, or TP-Link) do not support the necessary protocols and cannot scale to large numbers of users.
What is the end-user (visitor) experience?
It’s completely transparent -- the visitor doesn’t do anything. If the visitor’s carrier uses Orion Wifi and chooses to buy capacity from you, the visitor’s phone will just auto-connect to your Wi-Fi. That’s it.
How much does Orion Wifi cost?
Orion Wifi has no sign-up, set-up, or deployment fees. Once deployed, you can turn it off at any time. Orion Wifi just charges a percent of the revenue you earn.

Can Orion Wifi see my web traffic for any reason, including for marketing or advertising?
No, the Orion Wifi platform has been designed so that Orion Wifi cannot see or access a user's web traffic for any reason (including marketing or advertising).
