Itron Expands Itron Riva™ Developers Community to Battery-Powered IoT Devices
Enables Growing Ecosystem of IoT Applications
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. — Jan. 4, 2017 — Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), a world-leading technology and services company dedicated to the resourceful use of energy and water, is expanding the Itron Riva Developers Community to include app development for battery-powered devices. The community invites developers to create applications using the Itron Riva platform, further enabling an ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
