Delivering true AMI technology requires more than changing a letter

Many companies have simply
renamed their existing AMR
products as “AMI.” At Itron,
we’ve built an entirely new
generation of metering,
communication and
control technology
to take on the
challenges of peak
load, rising fuel
prices, grid reliability
and conservation.

Open Way™ by Itron is the industry’s true AMI solution. Open Way is architected using open standards such as ZigBee^®, ANSI C12.22, and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) so anyone can build to it. This open architecture enables

Open Way to adapt easily to rapidly changing communications,

home automation and smart grid technologies.

Open Way delivers
fully integrated
demand response
for all customers,
universal remote
disconnect built
into the meter, and
firmware download
capability so you can change
or upgrade your AMI system
without ever setting foot in the
field. The Open Way CENTRON^®
meter builds upon our proven
solid-state metering platform
to deliver full two-way
communication to every meter

over a wide variety of network protocols such as IP, BPL, PLC, GPRS and RF.

No one else brings together this much functionality and flexibility in an AMI solution. No one except Itron.

Open Way by Itron: Setting the standard for AMI technology. Just what you should expect from the industry leader.
