Orion Capacity Max Digital Network
High-performance, scalable trunked communication designed to meet the needs of critical industries
A Smarter Digital Radio Network for Australian Operations
Across Australia, businesses depend on reliable communication to keep teams connected and operations running efficiently. Whether you’re coordinating staff at a single site or managing a vast network of locations nationwide, having a robust and flexible system in is essential.
The Orion Network, powered by MOTOTRBO™ Capacity Max, provides a modern, centrally managed communication place network designed to support critical operations across multiple sites and teams.
For organisations currently managing their own communication systems or relying on fragmented tools, the Orion Network offers a more efficient and scalable alternative—improving coordination, reducing maintenance overheads and supporting safer, more responsive operations.
Moving Beyond Standalone Communication Systems
Many operations rely on standalone communication systems that require ongoing maintenance, upgrades and internal resources to manage effectively. Over time, this can increase costs and limit flexibility as operational needs evolve.
By connecting to a centrally managed network, organisations can reduce the burden of maintaining their own infrastructure while benefiting from reliable coverage, ongoing support and scalable communication across teams and locations.
Key Capabilities of Capacity Max
Designed for performance, security and ease of use, Capacity Max supports critical communications in demanding environments—from large-scale infrastructure and transport networks to industrial and public safety operations.
Scalable and Future-Ready
MOTOTRBO Capacity Max is engineered to support organisations of all sizes, scaling up to 750 sites with up to 15 voice and data repeaters and 6 additional data-only repeaters per site. It supports up to 45,000 radios per system and 3,000 radios per site, making it ideal for Australian operations that expand across multiple sites or require flexibility.
Compliant with the ETSI DMR Tier III standard, Capacity Max ensures interoperability with other compliant systems and devices.
Centralised Control and Easy Management
Capacity Max provides centralised control over your entire communications environment, allowing you to configure infrastructure, manage talk groups and monitor performance from a single console.
Its management software streamlines operations, enabling faster fault response and ongoing optimisation. Software and firmware updates can be deployed remotely, reducing the need for manual intervention. Over-the-air programming ensures that radios can be updated without disrupting day-to-day operations—an important advantage for teams working across remote or hard-to-reach locations
Reliable and Resilient
Capacity Max is built with multiple layers of redundancy to ensure high availability. Optional backup servers, IP switches and site repeaters can be deployed to maintain service continuity, with a secondary control channel available at each site for added resilience.
The system also supports smooth roaming and automatic site assignment, allowing users to move between locations without interruption. This is especially valuable for mobile teams operating across varied terrain or dispersed sites throughout Australia.
Secure Communications
Capacity Max supports encrypted voice and data, with all devices securely authenticated before accessing the network. This ensures only authorised users can communicate on your system.
Lost or stolen devices can be remotely disabled and re-enabled if recovered. Additional controls, including subscriber access management and site restrictions, provide greater oversight and help protect sensitive communications.
Enhanced Situational Awareness and Operational Response
Capacity Max includes a suite of advanced features designed to improve coordination, responsiveness and safety. Emergency calling, call pre-emption and transmit interrupt ensure that critical messages are prioritised and delivered without delay.
The system also supports dynamic group and site assignment, allowing communication structures to adapt as operational needs change. Integration with dispatch consoles such as TRBOnet PLUS, along with a wide range of third-party applications, enables you to build a solution that fits your operational requirements and maintain situational awareness in high-pressure environments.
Designed for Demanding Operating Environments
The Orion Capacity Max Network is designed to support organisations operating across complex and fast-paced environments, from city-wide field teams to transport networks and infrastructure operations.
By enabling consistent, real-time communication across teams and locations, organisations can improve visibility, reduce delays and maintain control across day-to-day operations.
