Handhelds
G5/G5R 433
Service Type: Electric | Gas | Water
In addition to its small size, light weight and easy-to-hold shape, the G5 handheld
computer delivers high meter-reading performance and processing speed. When equipped
with its 433MHz half-duplex radio, the G5 utilises the latest digital signalling
and correlation technology to slice through noise levels and search out endpoint
messages. The G5 features a 33 MHz 486 processor, 8 megabytes of DRAM and 32 megabytes
of non-volatile Compact Flash memory.
The newly launched G5R has the same ergonomic benefits and high-speed capabilities
as the G5 but is formatted for European utilities. The 433 MHz Radian radio allows
for seamless data collection for enhanced productivity.
G5/G5R 433 only available in markets where RoHS is not applicable. Upgrades to existing
G5 available throughout EMEA.
The Itron Field Collector 200 (FC200) is a versatile, ergonomic, ultra-rugged and
environmentally immune handheld computing solution. Designed to operate in demanding

Itron's MetrixND allows rapid development of accurate forecasts for gas and electrical
utilities, with some of the most powerful forecasting techniques, including neural
networks, multivariate regression, ARIMA and exponential smoothing. MetrixND is
the perfect tool for all forecasting applications, including tracking long-term
energy demand, monthly sales and revenue, retail load schedules and short-term system
operations and market prices.
Deregulation, fluctuating energy prices and shifting global markets make accurate
energy forecasting more important than ever. Itron's MetrixIDR is a forecasting
tool designed specifically to give high-volume energy retailers the information
needed to manage change. It combines historical information from internal data recorders
with weather and calendar information to produce detailed and aggregated forecasts
that can be short or long-term. It can produce hourly or daily forecasts for a large
number of individual customers, customer groups or delivery points.
Itron's MetrixIDR is the most flexible and accurate short-term load forecasting
system available, designed to provide forecasts automatically and on demand. MetrixIDR
streamlines and integrates forecasting for total system loads, transmission zone
loads, daily gas send-out and energy prices to enhance decision-making in changing
energy markets.
IEE Meter Data Management offers an enterprise-wide
meter data management solution for interval, register, and event data, designed
to insulate a utility's business systems from the details of metering and meter
reading in a multi-vendor, multi-technology environment. The Itron EE MDM solution
provides consistent processes and interfaces regardless of the meter data's source
or destination. This simplified environment significantly reduces the likelihood
of errors in the business processes that use meter data. With Itron EE MDM, utilities
can capitalise on the wealth of meter data to vastly improve access to information
used for decision-making and analysis.
The QUANTUM Q1000 meter provides the Generation, Transmission and Distribution user
