Wildfires are no longer a seasonal concern; they're a constant threat. That's why Opterrix is thrilled to announce our groundbreaking partnership with OroraTech USA, a leader in satellite-powered wildfire intelligence. This collaboration is a game-changer for the insurance industry, providing real-time wildfire insights directly within your workflows.
Through this first-of-its-kind integration, OroraTech's real-time wildfire hotspot data and AI Fire Spread simulations are now seamlessly integrated into the Opterrix geospatial platform. This means insurers will have unparalleled street-level visibility into wildfire threats before and during an event, enabling them to engage proactively with policyholders at risk.

This partnership officially launched with a one-year pilot agreement with USAA, marking them as the first U.S. insurance carrier to adopt OroraTech’s satellite-based thermal intelligence via our platform. This pilot will help USAA's risk and innovation team explore new ways to identify, quantify, and mitigate wildfire risk within their property portfolio.
Ben Zimmerman, the Chief Executive Officer of Opterrix, stated, "Wildfires are increasing in frequency and cost, and OroraTech’s low-Earth orbit satellite constellation provides us with the most timely and actionable intelligence available. Together, we’re delivering a new level of risk assessment and awareness for carriers during critical moments."
We're redefining how the insurance industry approaches wildfire risk, transforming it from a reactive to a proactive approach. Stay tuned for more updates as we expand this partnership to additional carriers!
