Building the Business Case for Intelligent Connectivity
View DetailsThe network is no longer just infrastructure—it’s the foundation for everything utilities do next. Itron’s Intelligent Connectivity vision brings together multi-transport networks, a unified headend, and distributed intelligence into a single, scalable platform. Discover how utilities are moving beyond siloed systems to enable greater resilience, flexibility, and control—supporting AMI, grid edge innovation, and the demands of a rapidly evolving energy ecosystem. -
Enabling the Future: Itron's Intelligent Connectivity Vision - a Portfolio Overview
View DetailsThe challenge isn’t connectivity—it’s control. It’s one thing to design an AMI network; it’s another to operate it at scale as cellular, distributed intelligence, and new applications are layered in. This session explores how a more unified approach to connectivity, control, and applications is reducing complexity, improving resilience, and making networks far easier to manage and evolve over time. -
Evaluating Cat-M1, RedCap and eRedCap for AMI 2.0
View DetailsNot all cellular paths to AMI 2.0 are created equal—and choosing wrong can limit performance for years. This session cuts through the hype to compare Cat‑M1, RedCap, and eRedCap in real utility environments. Explore how each option impacts capacity, latency, device complexity, and long-term evolution, and gain a practical framework for selecting the right technology to support Grid Edge Intelligence and future-ready network growth. -
From Connectivity to Control: How Network‑Aware Applications Protect AMI and DA Performance
View DetailsMore data doesn’t guarantee better outcomes—without control, it creates risk. As AMI 2.0 and grid-edge applications scale, unmanaged traffic can quickly degrade performance. This session explores how network-aware applications dynamically orchestrate traffic across mesh, battery-mesh, and cellular networks—prioritizing critical data, preventing congestion, and ensuring consistent performance. Learn how utilities are evolving from connectivity to control to protect AMI and DA operations at scale. -
Innovating AMI Connectivity: Deploying Multi-Carrier SIM Solutions to Strengthen your AMI Network
View DetailsConnectivity gaps don’t just slow AMI—they put performance at risk. This session explores how multi‑carrier SIM solutions are enabling utilities like Eversource to build more resilient, scalable AMI networks. By dynamically switching between carriers, utilities can ensure consistent coverage, minimize disruptions, and maintain real-time data flow. Learn how this approach strengthens reliability, supports advanced analytics, and delivers the connectivity foundation required for next-generation AMI and grid operations. -
Managing High‑Performance AMI Networks in a Multi‑Network World
View DetailsHigh‑performance AMI networks aren’t defined by technology—they’re defined by how well they’re run. As utilities operate across mesh, cellular, private LTE, and beyond, the real challenge is managing complexity in real‑world conditions. This session explores how utilities are designing for resiliency, monitoring performance, diagnosing issues, and protecting operations across diverse networks—turning multi‑technology environments into something stable, secure, and scalable over time. -
Storm‑Ready Distribution Automation: Using Predictive Analytics and QoS to Restore Power Faster
View DetailsEnsuring reliable utility operations during storms is increasingly critical in today’s energy landscape. This session highlights an advanced approach to Distribution Automation that combines predictive analytics and Quality of Service (QoS) within Itron’s mesh network to improve storm response and service reliability.
Attendees will learn how predictive analysis is used to proactively identify at‑risk antennas and devices ahead of storm events, helping maintain communications and enabling faster fault isolation through automated sectionalizing. The session will also explore how QoS prioritizes time‑sensitive communications for devices such as reclosers, voltage regulators, and fault current indicators, ensuring outage isolation commands are delivered without delay.
Through real‑world examples, this presentation will share practical lessons learned and actionable strategies utilities can apply to strengthen network resilience, reduce restoration times, and improve customer satisfaction during severe weather events.
