Itron’s OpenWay Riva™ IoT Solution and SaaS
Provide Foundation for Energy Smart Community
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and
services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and
water, has been selected by AVANGRID, Inc. (NYSE: AGR) to lay the
foundation for its Energy Smart Community (ESC) in Ithaca, New
York.
AVANGRID is a diversified energy and utility company with
electric and natural gas operations serving 3.1 million customers
in New York and New England. The company will deploy Itron’s
OpenWay Riva and smart gas solutions to 12,400 electric customers
and 7,300 natural gas customers of New York State Electric and Gas
(NYSEG) in Ithaca. NYSEG is installing Advanced Metering
Infrastructure in the community to support AVANGRID’s ability to
serve as a Distributed System Platform provider to advance New
York’s Reforming the Energy Vision initiative.
Itron’s OpenWay Riva solution will provide the foundation for
the ESC project with a highly secure, multi-application network
infrastructure. The solution features distributed computing power
throughout the network, enabling real-time analysis of data and
peer-to-peer communication among intelligent devices at the edge
the network. These capabilities enable AVANGRID to manage rapidly
changing grid conditions and deliver new services and value to its
customers. The company will also benefit from the solution’s
adaptive communications technology, which will deliver high
performance communications with optimized connectivity in a single,
unified network and communication solution. In addition, AVANGRID
will take advantage of Itron’s analytics and meter data management
software-as-a-service (SaaS).
“Itron is honored to work alongside this progressive company as
it explores the possibilities of an ‘Active Grid’ that is more
efficient, reliable and responsive to customer needs and energy
policy objectives,” said Mark de Vere White, president of Itron’s
Electricity business line. “Itron’s OpenWay Riva solution is the
only IoT-ready solution available that delivers the distributed
computing power and communications capabilities to extend awareness
and control all the way to the edge of the distribution network and
to the customer premise. Our OpenWay Riva solution will provide the
platform for AVANGRID to transform both its operations and its
relationship with its customers in Ithaca. We look forward to
collaborating with them on this groundbreaking project.”
