The 100G builds upon the field-proven design of the 40-series gas ERT module, to deliver an industry leading 99.999 per cent read accuracy rate. A more powerful module, the 100G offers up to 250 milliwatts of output power, operates in a bubble-up mode and does not require an FCC license. Other customer benefits include:
- Easy deployment alongside legacy ERT modules.
- Compatible with updated Itron 900 MHz handheld, mobile and fixed network solutions for additional flexibility.
- A 20-year battery life regardless of data collection solution to ensure low cost of ownership.
- Updated housing optimizes antenna performance and maximizes RF signal.
In a time when utilities continually search for innovative ways to drive out costs, the 100G provides a sensible pathway from handhelds to mobile to fixed networks.
“Utilities are faced with ever-changing business drivers that demand flexibility, efficiency and cost affordability,” said Carl Porter, product line director for Itron’s gas solutions. “The 100G is the most advanced radio-based meter module in the industry today. It can be deployed with medium power for mobile and handhelds, then reprogrammed to high-powered fixed network mode should the utility choose to migrate to an advanced data collection solution.”
