Getting Started

Orion Wi-Fi lets businesses sell capacity on their existing Wi-Fi network to cellular carriers. This help center provides guidance and configuration settings for each step in the set up process.

Orion uses your existing enterprise or carrier-grade Wi-Fi access points, no new hardware is required. Orion is a new SSID on your Access Points alongside any other existing SSIDs.

Orion Wi-Fi is only available in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and would like to learn when Orion is coming to your country, please contact us at ask-orion@google.com.

Wi-Fi Hardware Requirements

Your Wi-Fi must support the following technologies:

  • Passpoint, aka Hotspot 2.0
  • WPA2 802.1x with RADIUS

* If your Wi-Fi infrastructure does not support RadSec natively, you can download and use our radsecproxy.
