Itron Riva, an edge intelligence platform that supports sensing technologies and dynamic applications at the device level is at the forefront of growth in the IoT space. In a recent interview with Engerati, Roberto Aiello, new business innovation, new models, Itron CTO Office explained, "Our main innovation is ubiquitous networking as Itron Riva enables connectivity of all sorts of sensors and transfers data from these sensors in a standard way to the cloud or a data center where it can be analyzed." As Itron Riva creates improved business value with an open standards IPv6 network that will optimize communications paths through either RF or PLC capabilities on-the-fly, which could mean big news for the energy sector. The applicability and scope of Itron Riva is showing the potential to reach new heights, broadening opportunities for variety and expansion in the IoT space.
More than ever before, Itron is committed to sharing, partnering and licensing apps and platform technology, having launched the Itron Riva Developers Community. New business opportunities in IoT means more doors open for Itron technology, worldwide. "As the technology is new, we are still experimenting, but we are seeing a lot of IoT interest particularly in Asia and Australia," said Itron's Roberto Aiello.
