Over the next two years, Itron will deliver and install an end-to-end solution composed of electronic gas volume converters and GPRS two-way communication devices for an estimated 30,000 existing commercial and industrial (C&I) gas meters.
In cooperation with Capgemini, the company will also provide associated managed services including meter reading and maintenance.
The end-to-end solution – from installation to the transmission of meter data to Italgas – will be performed with software tools designed specifically for this rollout, including an adaptation of Itron’s meter data collection software.
Device installation and maintenance will be managed by Itron’s existing field services network, which will be extended to cover this deployment across Italy.
Itron said it will work closely with its preferred partners for the associated managed services.
