Why the IoT

IoT holds the promise to drive economic development and connect millions of devices for faster decision making, while giving people more information and bettering our lives.

IoT and Itron Riva

The Itron Riva platform shares a common set of technology attributes, namely: locational awareness; multilingual devices; and in-field and cloud-based processing to enable touch-free, localized analysis.

IoT Connectivity and Itron Riva

The IoT is all about connecting millions of devices with 100 percent reliability. Over the past several decades, Itron has excelled at collecting critical utility data from millions of devices, spread out over vast service territories.

Itron Riva’s revolutionary adaptive communications technology incorporates different communications media that dynamically chooses the fastest and most reliable communication path. This process happens intelligently, continuously and automatically at all levels of the network, for every link, every message and every device.

IoT Applicability and Itron Riva

The breadth of the IoT market is as wide as the imagination. Itron Riva capabilities are initially focused on several key areas of IoT that can improve energy and water management and advance smart cities.

  • Utility Management: Advancements in communications, edge intelligence and analytics will drive grid modernization strategies and bring opportunities beyond operational efficiency to energy and water utilities.
  • Building Energy Management: Commercial property owners will gain real-time access to a building’s energy consumption to ensure a sustainable use of lighting, heating, cooling and electricity, while maintaining a comfortable work environment.
  • Solar Management and Integration: Owners of solar panels can create intelligent, interconnected devices to maximize production and manage energy purchases to increase energy savings.
  • Streetlight Management: Municipalities will implement smart streetlights using sensors to monitor the environment, including lighting needs, traffic, smog, seismic and severe weather events, and increase public safety.
