The Itron Edge Gateway for Utility Distribution Automation Use Cases Overview Brochure

The Itron Edge Gateway is a versatile, highly secure distributed intelligence device that enables intelligent connectivity using LTE and PLTE cellular and Itron Gen5 Mesh communications between field devices and back-office systems. It represents a critical component of modern utility distribution automation systems. As utilities transition towards more intelligent, more resilient grids, the need for efficient data collection, analysis, and control at the grid edge becomes increasingly vital. This solution brief explores the role of the Edge Gateway in addressing the challenges utilities face...

As utilities continue to build out and automate their grid operations, it is important to have access to solutions which are reliable, flexible and secure. Many use cases classified as distribution automation are critical in terms of latency and the Edge Gateway is specifically designed for this purpose. With both 4G and 5G models operating on private and public cellular networks; and a future Gen5 mesh enabled version; the Edge Gateway brings intelligent connectivity to the utility grid operator. To support critical use cases both single and dual radio models are available, enabling hot failover....

Edge Gateway: Advanced Security: Itron Secure Edge provides utilities with secure and reliable data communication for critical infrastructure and secure automated tunneling over cellular networks without complex setup, along with multi-carrier failover functionality. The Secure Edge application introduces modern SD-WAN-like networking architecture, enabling an enhanced security profile, automated tunneling for SCADA traffic, remote worker connectivity, and providing a static IP address for SCADA poling regardless of the carrier a device is communicating on. This solution replaces the classic...
