Helps utilities streamline operations, reduce truck rolls and gain greater visibility into gas and water systems
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), the intelligent infrastructure provider for modern energy and water management, and AT&T are extending their collaboration by integrating Itron’s 500G Cellular Gas Module and 500W Cellular Water Module with AT&T’s network. The collaboration expands resilient connectivity options for utilities, enabling them to remotely and securely collect data from compatible Itron gas and water modules across their service territories through AT&T’s LTE-M network.
Earlier this year, Itron announced that it expanded its headend application suite to support the 500G Cellular Gas Module and 500W Cellular Water Module, enabling utilities to manage cellular and mesh network deployments through UtilityIQ, Itron’s field-proven universal head-end software suite. With AT&T’s network, Itron is expanding communications choices for utilities, giving them greater flexibility to select the network approach that best fits their operational, geographic and business needs.
Designed specifically for gas meters, Itron’s 500G Cellular Gas Module helps utilities to remotely collect and transmit consumption, event and alarm data directly over cellular, eliminating the need for additional communications infrastructure. Leveraging AT&T’s network, utilities can securely help support billing accuracy and gain greater visibility into distribution system operations. The solution supports efficient meter reading across geographically dispersed service territories while helping utilities streamline operations and reduce truck rolls.
Similarly, the 500W Cellular Water Module enables utilities to remotely collect and transmit meter, event and alarm data without the need to deploy and maintain additional communications infrastructure. By using AT&T’s network, utilities can help improve visibility into water usage, accelerate leak detection efforts and gain timely insights into system performance. With cellular, these capabilities can be strategically deployed, helping utilities conserve water resources, reduce operational costs and provide better service to customers.
