Itron and Cairns Regional Council Expand
Collaboration on Water Security and Conservation
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating new ways for
utilities and cities to manage energy and water, is collaborating
with Cairns Regional Council (Council), located in Queensland,
Australia, to deploy Itron’s intelligent connectivity and analytic
solution, which includes Intelis® wSource NB-IoT water meters and
the utility’s existing mesh network technology that utilizes
Itron’s unified Temetra® NB-IoT digital platform for data
collection and data management. The Itron solution will be deployed
over the next three years as part of Council’s comprehensive water
security plan to take advantage of technology to better identify
water leaks and improve customer experience.
This project builds on phase one of the Council’s smart water
network project, which included an initial deployment of Itron’s
Intelis ultrasonic water meters and integrated IoT network
solution. Now, in this second phase, Itron and the Council are
working together to deploy additional Intelis smart water meters,
which will be managed by Itron’s Temetra NB-IoT digital platform to
improve collection, tracking and management of water data from all
endpoints within its network.
Itron’s intelligent connectivity solution will allow the Council
to tackle a number of operational challenges related to water. Once
the Intelis wSource water meters and NB-IoT digital platform are
deployed, the Council will benefit from:
- Faster Identification of Water Leaks – Temetra improves
visibility before and after the meter to help address non-revenue
water losses in the distribution system.
- Improved Customer Experience – With the Intelis NB-IoT
water meter, the Council can help their customers better manage
water usage by providing advanced, data driven insights.
- Extended Meter Life – The Intelis NB-IoT water meter’s
durable components and battery are designed to enable a 15-year
lifetime even in harsh conditions.
- Reduction of Costs – The Intelis NB-IoT water meter
maintains accuracy in harsh conditions and delivers long-lasting
performance in the field, lowering costs, and requiring fewer
repairs and replacements.
“Water scarcity on the rise globally, and adopting a proactive
approach to deploying a fully integrated water AMI solution serves
as an example for other utilities and municipalities to ensure that
their water infrastructure is built to address challenges they will
face in the future,” said Don Reeves, senior vice president of
Outcomes at Itron. “At Itron, we are excited to continue our
work with the Council to help the utility prepare for increased
demand for water and asset management challenges.”
