SEATTLE, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bsquare
Corporation (NASDAQ: BSQR), a leader in the development of
intelligent devices and systems, and Itron, Inc (NASDAQ: ITRI),
which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and
water, announced today that they have expanded their business
relationship to continue enhancing Itron's distributed intelligence
(DI) app store with Bsquare's device management software.
Tailored to Itron's customers' needs, the DI app store offers an
increasingly diverse ecosystem of Itron and third-party
applications that connect to Itron's Industrial IoT (IIoT) network
and intelligently communicate and collaborate with millions of
devices across the grid to the edge. Distributed intelligence
enables near real-time insights and local control with safety
applications, consumer insights and distribution grid
optimization.
"We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Bsquare to
accelerate development and operation of the DI app store, which
enables our customers to easily access innovative applications from
our partner ecosystem," said Don
Reeves, Senior Vice President of Outcomes at Itron. "Itron's
robust DI-enabled IIoT solution allows innovators everywhere to
build open, interoperable, value-driven applications that evolve
with the market and consumer demands. With the power of distributed
intelligence, developers can create applications that weren't
possible before."
"We appreciate the opportunity to continue to work with an
industry leader like Itron. Putting our IoT technologies and
operations expertise to work to enable Itron's app store is a
testament to the strength of our long working relationship.
Together, we put intelligence where it needs to be: in the meter
and the grid. We are passionate about using technology to
make the world a better place, and this collaboration with Itron
has been an opportunity for us to do that," said Ralph C. Derrickson, President and CEO,
Bsquare.
