Ibadan, 31 July 2025. – OroraTech USA, a leader in satellite-powered wildfire intelligence announced a strategic partnership with Opterrix, a next generation risk intelligence platform.
Through this collaboration, OroraTech will integrate its real-time wildfire hotspot data and AI Fire Spread simulations directly into Opterrix’s geospatial platform, enhancing situational awareness for insurers and enabling proactive engagement with policyholders at risk.
The partnership officially launched with a one-year pilot agreement with USAA, marking the first U.S. insurance carrier to adopt OroraTech’s satellite-based thermal intelligence via the Opterrix platform. The pilot provides wildfire detection and fire spread modeling data for USAA’s risk and innovation team to explore new ways to identify, quantify, and mitigate wildfire risk within their property portfolio.
Thomas Gruebler, CEO of OroraTech USA. remarked, “Wildfire has shifted from a seasonal hazard to a constant threat for both insurers and policyholders. By integrating our data into the Opterrix platform, we enable real-time risk assessment and informed decision-making. It opens our platform to insurers to strengthen wildfire intelligence across the U.S. insurance industry.”
Similarly, Ben Zimmerman, CEO of Opterrix stated, “Our mission is to help insurers proactively identify and manage risks before they turn into losses. “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.
OroraTech’s Fire Spread product, built on advanced modeling of terrain, vegetation, and wind conditions, delivers high-resolution projections in the Opterrix platform. By integrating OroraTech’s thermal analytics and fire spread modeling, Opterrix customers will now gain street-level visibility into wildfire threats before and during an event.
