By ORVIWO LLC — Smart Infrastructure, Connectivity & Tactical IT Solutions from Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is entering a new era of clean energy innovation — where data, connectivity, and intelligent orchestration redefine how wind and solar farms operate.
At the forefront of this transformation is ORVIWO, integrating advanced networking solutions powered by Semtech AirLink 5G routers, private cellular networks, satellite backup, and AI-driven management platforms to maximize uptime, performance, and security.
🌬️ Smarter Energy Starts with Smarter Connectivity
Each renewable site — from Santa Isabel Wind to new hybrid microgrids — depends on a communication backbone capable of operating in harsh, remote, and mission-critical environments.
ORVIWO provides a multi-layer network design that ensures reliable performance in all conditions:
Layer | Technology Component | Purpose |
Local Connectivity | Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7 | Wireless access for engineers, sensors, and control panels |
Private Cellular Networks (PCN) | LTE / 5G edge coverage | Secure broadband for SCADA, IoT, and maintenance systems |
Public Cellular Networks | Multi-carrier 5G fallback | Connectivity through national operators when private cells are unavailable |
Satellite Communication | Starlink / LEO Backup | Maintains data flow during fiber or cellular outages |
Network Management Platform | AirLink Management Service (ALMS) | Centralized monitoring, firmware control, and predictive diagnostics |
Information Databases & Radio / Video Management | AI-integrated data servers | Consolidates telemetry, video, and alarms into unified dashboards |
AirLink Pro Router | XR60 / XR80 / XR90 | Hardened 5G routers for continuous high-throughput operations |
Remote Device Security & Management | VPN + Zero-Trust + Encryption | Protects field assets from cyber intrusion |
Out-of-Band Management | Dual-SIM & Failover Paths | Enables remote recovery during main-link loss |
Hardware Warranty & Technical Support | ORVIWO + Semtech | Ensures mission continuity with 24/7 coverage |
Navigation Warning Lights | PoE systems | Aviation safety integration for turbine towers |
Environmental Sensors | IoT nodes | Capture temperature, humidity, vibration, and wind data |
Wind Turbine Controller | SCADA interface | Enables real-time performance adjustments |
Site Cameras | Avigilon Alta / Unity | AI video analytics for safety and intrusion monitoring |
VPN ( Virtual Private Networks ) | Secure tunnels | Encrypts communication between turbines, substations, and HQ |
🧠 From Energy Data to Intelligence
With unified connectivity, ORVIWO transforms every wind or solar site into a real-time digital twin, allowing operators to visualize turbine health, environmental conditions, and security metrics — all through a secure, CMMC-aligned dashboard.
🔒 Federal-Grade Security & Resilience
ORVIWO’s designs meet CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP Moderate standards — providing the cybersecurity architecture necessary for DOE, FEMA, and DoD energy modernization projects.
Each link — from field sensor to data center — is protected through zero-trust authentication, VPN encryption, and redundant WAN failover between cellular, satellite, and fiber.
Federal Context & Funding Support
The modernization of Puerto Rico’s energy and defense infrastructure now aligns more closely than ever with U.S. federal priorities.
The Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security are investing heavily in the island’s grid resilience, clean energy, and strategic readiness.
📡 The Dual-Use Opportunity: Energy + Defense
Recent developments reported by Military.com ( Nov 2025 ) highlight the reactivation of Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Ceiba and the deployment of F-35 fighters and advanced U.S. forces under U.S. Southern Command.
This marks the largest American military presence in the Caribbean in decades — transforming Puerto Rico into both an energy and defense logistics hub.
This renewed strategic posture opens channels for federal infrastructure funding, defense energy grants, and dual-use technology projects — particularly those that enhance:
Power reliability for mission-critical bases
Renewable microgrids supporting national security operations
AI-enabled situational awareness for energy and defense facilities
Cyber-resilient communication systems (5G + satellite integration)
🏛️ Key Federal Agencies & Funding Programs
Agency / Program | Focus Area | Typical Funding / Support |
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) – EERE & Grid Deployment Office | Renewable energy, grid resilience, territorial modernization | $1 M – $50 M grants & cost-share awards; $1.2 B allocated to PR grid resilience |
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) – REAP | Rural renewables & agricultural energy | Grants up to 50 % of project costs + loan guarantees |
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) | Environmental justice & clean-energy financing | Technical assistance + local grant support |
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) | Hazard mitigation & critical infrastructure resilience | Post-disaster rebuild and energy modernization funding |
Department of Defense (DOD) – Energy Resilience & Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) | Renewable energy and microgrid projects on defense sites (e.g., Roosevelt Roads) | $100 M – $250 M annual appropriations for energy security |
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) | ITC/PTC tax credits for wind and solar | 30 % base credit + bonus credits for domestic content and resilience |
National Science Foundation (NSF) & Commerce EDA | Smart-grid research & innovation ecosystems | Research grants and infrastructure planning support |
💼 ORVIWO’s Federal Readiness
Defense Integration: 5G and satellite networks can extend secure connectivity to Roosevelt Roads and other strategic sites.
Energy Resilience: ORVIWO solutions support DOE and FEMA requirements for grid hardening and critical-load sustainment.
Cybersecurity Compliance: Architecture aligned with CMMC and FedRAMP standards for federal data handling.
Community Impact: Federal funding mechanisms empower local technicians, farmers, and renewable developers to collaborate on energy projects with national security benefits.
“As the United States strengthens its Caribbean presence, Puerto Rico’s role as a clean-energy and strategic communications hub becomes vital. ORVIWO connects these missions — bridging defense, energy, and technology through secure infrastructure.” — Jan G. Ortega Suárez, Founder & CEO, ORVIWO LLC
