Portfolio focuses on five key areas of smart lighting, traffic and highways, environment and sustainability, public safety and energy, water and utilities.
Itron is unveiling its CityEdge portfolio at Smart City Expo in Barcelona, which runs from 5-7 November. It brings together Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to solve city challenges today, while preparing cities for the future.
With CityEdge, Itron is also rebranding its smart city and smart lighting solutions and providing an open, flexible platform upon which cities can build.
With more than four million lights under management globally, Itron has seen that smart street lighting continues to play a crucial role in enhancing a city’s quality of life by providing its citizens with visibility and safety at night.
Modern cities must also navigate a plethora of complex challenges beyond smart street lighting such as climate disruption, ageing infrastructure and public safety. The Itron CityEdge portfolio is designed to help cities address multiple challenges in five key areas:
“No two cities are the same. Each city faces unique challenges, whether related to climate disruption, ageing infrastructure, data security, pollution, affordable housing or budget constraints. That’s why we are excited to unveil our CityEdge portfolio to address a wide array of these challenges,” said John Marcolini, senior vice president of Networked Solutions at Itron. “Building on our extensive experience collaborating with cities and utilities worldwide – from New Zealand to Spain to North America – we look forward to helping cities overcome their current and future challenges.”
Since 2022, the City of Fuengirola has worked together with Itron to accelerate urban innovation and improve the livelihoods of citizens in Southern Spain. “By leveraging Itron’s intelligent street lighting, noise detection and smart traffic monitoring solutions, we have significantly enhanced the safety of our city for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists,” said Ana Maria Mula, mayor of the City of Fuengirola.
“Nearly two years later, Itron’s portfolio has enabled us to create a more efficient, comfortable and sustainable environment for our citizens.”
By deploying CityEdge, cities can monitor and control sensors, meters and other devices in the field on one unified platform – with nearly unlimited use cases. In combination with multi-transport networking, intelligent connectivity and purpose-built applications, the solution portfolio enables greater cost-effectiveness, streamlined collaboration across departments, operational efficiency, accurate reporting and improved business outcomes.
The solutions within CityEdge build on Itron’s proven scale with more than 270 million IoT endpoints deployed globally to over 8,000 customers in more than 100 countries. The portfolio takes the capabilities of devices and networks to the next level by collecting strategic data, unlocking actionable insights for improved decision-making and quicker response.
“Itron is an industry leader, but we also know that no single vendor can solve every challenge. So, we operate under a set of open framework principles and encourage a growing ecosystem of third-party device and application developers to deliver solutions via the CityEdge portfolio,” added Marcolini.
Itron is exhibiting at booth B61 in Hall 3 at Smart City Expo World Congress.
