At the conclusion of the qualification testing process, Infrax will license the communications module to Itron, as well as sell the product as Itron compliant.
The license agreement will allow Infrax to design its Secure Network Interface Card (SNIC) and communications module for inclusion in Itron Centron meters.
Itron has also provided Infrax with development tools and technical documentation to aid in this development.
The SNIC is the latest component announced for Infrax’s Secure Intelligent Energy Platform.
Infrax CEO Paul Aiello said that upon completion of the company’s integration testing with Itron, utilities will have an option to extend the life of their existing AMR meters, and provide secure communications capabilities for both utility and home applications.
