Itron validaties products for operation on Anterix private LTE spectrum

Itron announced it recently completed validation of several products for operation on Anterix 900 MHz private LTE spectrum. Anterix is the nation’s largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 896-901/935-940 MHz band throughout the contiguous United States, plus Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. Itron’s “Anterix Capable” products include its Access Point , with plans to validate Itron’s CENTRON LTE-M electric meter, Cellular 500G gas module, Cellular 500W water module, Edge Gateway and Solar Battery AP. The Access Point is also CatalyX approved, validated for private to public failover and fallback. Compatibility with Anterix’s 900 MHz spectrum further expands Itron’s multi-transport network options, giving utilities and cities the flexibility to deploy and operate Itron solutions across Anterix supported private LTE networks. With cellular communications, utilities have a simple way to securely connect strategic utility grid assets from meters to substations.
