Using Orion, teams can communicate securely in real-time, across any distance, with other people and with intelligent bots and services. Orion’s Onyx wearable communication device lets people talk privately or with teams while remaining heads-up and eyes-free. It works with iOS and Android smartphones to deliver messages over any cellular or Wi-Fi network.
The company recently launched Orion Pro, a hosted subscription service for organizations of any size. With Orion Pro, organizations can onboard new users and manage permissions using web-based administrative controls.
