Complete Premise Wiring Installations

Orion specializes in the design and installation of structured, turnkey cabling installations. We emphasize modular designs that use state-of-the art materials, and free our customers from reliance on our labor for adds, moves, and station re-assignments. We strictly adhere to the various standards and specifications governing the data and voice wiring industry, including ANSI/EIA/TIA, NEC, NFPA and all state and local building codes.
