Liberty Lake, Wash.-based Itron Inc. has introduced Nexergy, a portfolio of five ecosystem architectures that couples meters, communication technology and software.
According to Itron, the Nexergy portfolio offers utilities a faster and more cost-effective approach to smart grid deployments, as well as encapsulates complex requirements of modernizing a utility's grid into a unified and structured architecture.
