Itron’s Automatic Meter Reading Technology Featured on BusinessWeek TV

BusinessWeek Weekend is a subsidiary of BusinessWeek Magazine, a highly respected national publication.

Automatic meter reading (AMR) technology has been discovered by the mainstream media!

BusinessWeek Weekend, a syndicated national television program, recently featured a short segment on AMR, filming the AMR deployment at Consolidated Edison in New York. The segment features Itron’s technology. The feature clearly acknowledges Itron’s dominance in the AMR market.

The segment is a reflection of how more mainstream media is showing interest in the energy and water industry and how associated technologies can improve energy delivery and customer service. With the new energy bill, more mainstream media will likely focus attention on energy and water technologies.

The full story focuses on the high cost of energy this year and how people can save on their heating bills. Although the anchor of the segment described AMR as a “new” technology, nevertheless, it is exciting to see “invisible” technologies that help utilities work more efficiently and cost-effectively hit the mainstream market as news.
