They Each Use the Orion Push-to-Talk 2.0 for Security Operations.

Orion helps teams across industries with frontline operations. But there is often a common need that spans all these industries: Security. security operations executive protection

Keeping people and property safe is mission-critical for every business, and for many of today’s enterprise organizations, this requires a physical security and executive protection team. These teams face the typical communications challenges that result from a distributed, on-the-go workforce. They require a particular set of solutions that meet their distinct operational needs, support efficiency, effectiveness and safety, and enable each team member to stay heads up and alert.

Where in the past, many of these teams relied on legacy radios, now they’re searching for something new and innovative. Physical security operations have realized they need a sophisticated communications solution that helps them stay ahead of bad actors and threats. Outdated radios or limited push-to-talk (PTT) applications that lose range and lack AI voice automations no longer fit the bill.

This is why many of our security customers have turned to Orion.

Four Orion PTT 2.0 Use Cases for Security

While the fundamentals are the same, each use case is different. Let’s take a look at each:

A top crypto exchange needed a sophisticated voice-first solution for its executive protection (EP) team. They selected Orion for our ability to work on any available LTE network and WiFi – a necessary requirement with high-profile executives traveling around the globe. Orion also met their cybersecurity requirements for end-to-end encryption built into the platform’s foundation. Orion’s Operations Console supports the organization’s Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) with a complete view of its executive protection team operating in real-time around the globe.

A social media giant also relies on Orion to provide world-class executive protection for its executives with demanding, global travel schedules. Orion Voice AI Bots also assist the team with geolocation-based triggers. When the executive leaves the office, automatic workflows alert teams when the executive has left the office, is en route to a new location, or is pending arrival. Each team member always knows the executive’s location and is prepared for the next step in a standard operating procedure.

A private university required a modern push-to-talk solution to replace radio devices that hindered clear communications and were limited in range. Orion’s PTT 2.0 ensures their ability to seamlessly scale for campus events or staff requirements. Orion is also available on any device, including smartphones, tablets, and desktops. Their campus security gained greater situational awareness via Orion’s location-based insights showing the geolocation of team members. Orion supports connectivity via WiFi or LTE, ensuring the security team can communicate over any distance — even offsite.

The Intelligence Community employs Orion for incident response with a secure communications environment that spins up, runs, and spins down for globally dispersed teams operating in real time. Special operations teams use Orion’s patented Voice AI Bots to increase efficiency and amplify their abilities on the go with automated workflows like checklists, geofence or location-based triggers, emergency or all-call alerts, translation of more than 60 languages, and more. Orion’s ability to integrate into field and government technology like ATAK (Android Team Awareness/Tactical Assault Kit), geospatial systems like ESRI, and more help teams stay situationally aware in the field.
