Itron Launches Next-Generation RF Communications Module for EMEA

Itron’s New Cyble 5 Module Advances Drive-by and IoT Data Collection for Gas and Electricity Utilities. Itron, Inc. announced the launch of its Cyble 5 communications module for utilities and cities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Building on Itron’s proven Cyble technology, with nearly 10 million devices in the field, this next generation of Cyble modules enables utilities to take advantage of extended connectivity options to further advance data collection and billing efficiency. The Cyble 5 communications module, which transforms gas and water mechanical meters into connected data points, enables utilities to take advantage of drive-by Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and IoT data collection (LoRaWan/Sigfox). This new generation features out-of-the-box extended communication alternatives to help accelerate data collection, notably through fast drive-by capabilities, while also offering fixed network connectivity to LoRaWAN & Sigfox networks. Designed with customer feedback, Cyble 5 includes richer data sets helping meet their operational requirements, better understand resources use and improve customer relationships.
