AMI/AMR

Revolutionize your operations with Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) hardware and technology utilizing the latest in cellular, NaaS canopies, leak detection, smart valves, and more.

Cellular AMI for Water & Gas Utilities

FOCUS ON METERING & MONITORING INSTEAD OF NETWORKING

Cellular AMI systems operate on existing cellular communication infrastructure, reducing upfront costs and allowing for a gradual integration into an existing meter network. This gives utilities the opportunity to assess risk and work within budget constraints.

No network infrastructure to manage
Allows for rapid deployment
Long-term evolution (LTE) investment protection
20-year battery endpoint life
Standards-based LTE-M, Cat-M1 networks
Supports advanced distribution-side leak sensors

With improvements in performance and battery life, Itron’s next-generation, standards-based cellular network is an important part of any intelligently connected network.

IoT NaaS Canopies for Water AMI

EVERYTHING YOUR UTILITY NEEDS TO GET STARTED WITH AMI

Itron’s Gen5 water endpoints allow water utilities to immediately leverage the existing assets of their electric IOU neighbors, creating an advanced AMI network supporting smart water meters, analytics, consumer portals and more. Using Internet of Things Network as a Service (IoT NaaS) canopies, this can all be accomplished at a fraction of the time, cost, and maintenance of building out a separate, single-purpose network.

Joint Use network
No network infrastructure to manage
Leverages Itron’s Multi-purpose Gen5 IIoT Network
Allows for rapid deployment
Mesh topology for redundancy and 2-way communications
Self-healing Gen5 RF-mesh network platform

IoT NaaS Canopies for Water AMI are proven, standards-based, multi-purpose network solutions optimal for utilities with fewer than 100,000 metering endpoints. The solution offers everything you need to quickly benefit from the efficiencies and operational cost-savings of AMI-based utility services, while also laying the groundwork to support emerging industry needs and future use cases.

Traditional star network topology
20-year battery endpoint life
Includes customer portals and analytics

Itron’s ChoiceConnect offers a portfolio of industry-leading AMR, AMI and leak detection solutions that integrate seamlessly within a single platform.

Itron Leak Detection for Water Utilities

Effectively monitor and manage distribution leaks within a water distribution network. Using Itron’s acoustic leak sensors placed strategically throughout a water distribution network, the mlogonline leak detection software allows you to identify and repair leaks in the distribution system before they become catastrophic main breaks and enables unattended leak detection of existing or newly emerging leaks.

Detect emerging and existing leaks
Track new and historic leaks
Track noises
Prioritize and rank potential leaks for field investigation
Provide a map visualization of potential leaks within the water system

This solution reduces non-revenue water losses, associated costs, and potential service disruptions caused by major leak events through examining the pipe network over the best period for detection of leaks. This results in providing a higher quality of data to mlogonline, which in turn improves leak identification.

Mlogonline and Itron’s leak sensors combined provide a targeted, systematic approach to optimize a utility’s field workforce for maximum return on investment. Mlogonline is the first permanent proactive tool for continuous assessment of pipeline integrity.

Aquana Smart Valves for Water Utilities

The Aquana Smart Valve allows you to open, close, or reduce the flow of water remotely without having to send a technician to the service location. This helps keep employees safe, reduce operational costs, and simplify customer service.

3 positions (open, closed, reduced flow)
Cellular LTE-M, Bluetooth local control, or wired serial for Itron endpoints
NPSM swivel nut valve body for easy installation
IP68 fully potted housing
Single or batch valve control

Aquana cloud-based web and mobile apps enable you to monitor and control water use from anywhere. Set up real-time notifications, manage unlimited users, configure event actions, schedule valve position commands one at a time or in batch, and more.
