Riva meters use the 4G LTE cellular network directly, eliminating proprietary RF mesh networks and their associated concentrators, reducing AMI infrastructure costs. The meter’s OpenWay communications platform supports multiple grid applications including voltage monitoring, tamper detection, and power quality analytics. Itron Analytics’s cloud platform processes meter data streams to detect energy theft, forecast demand, and prioritise outage restoration. Riva’s open API architecture integrates with leading MDM, CIS, and OMS vendors. The device meets ANSI C12.19 and IEC 62056 data model standards.
