Itron, Inc. is bringing its Cyble?? 5 communications module to the Asia-Pacific region. The module, which is currently deployed throughout EMEA, allows mechanical water meters to become communication devices.

This facilitates the transition from manual meter reading to automated meter reading and advanced metering infrastructure by improving the functionality of existing mechanical meters. With the Cyble 5 communication module, utilities across the region can upgrade their metering infrastructure, reduce costs, and support sustainability initiatives without extensive infrastructure replacement. The Cyble 5 communication module will be produced by PT Mecoindo in Cikarang, Indonesia, beginning Fourth Quarter 2025.

The Cyble 5 module addresses the diverse challenges facing utilities across the Asia-Pacific region, from streamlining the transition to smart metering to enabling conservation programs. In warmer and drier climates, such as Australia and New Zealand, the module's leak detection feature is particularly useful in combating water scarcity. Each Cyble 5 module has a continuous flow alarm and collects data hourly, helping utilities detect and manage leaks more effectively. This is a crucial benefit for water conservation and expanding water loss reduction programs. With extreme weather events on the rise, having a communications module built for extreme environments is crucial.

The Cyble 5 module is built to resist water, contaminants, corrosion, humidity, and hot temperatures. Utilities across the entire region will benefit from the Cyble 5 module's versatility and durability. The Cyble 5 module are easy to connect with no wiring or wall mount required, allowing utilities to transition at their own space without having to replace existing infrastructure before its useful life expires.
