Itron’s MC3 is the company’s next generation of drive-by data collecting. It combines GPS mapping with meter reading, two-way wireless radio communications, and backward compatibility in terms of performance and mobility. Regardless of the kind or size of a utility’s service, the MC3 improves operational efficiencies by streamlining business processes and lowering costs related with meter reading operations and service delivery. Additionally, it improves customer service and employee safety.

 

The MC3 can handle basic consumption, gather interval data, and communicate with gas, water, and electricity meters, sensors, and other devices. This includes service control valves and switches. MC3 is small enough to readily switch between drivers as needed, eliminating the requirement for a dedicated vehicle.

 

Features included:

 

• Collect gas, water and electricity interval data.

• Read both “bubble-up” and “wake-up” endpoints.

• Two-way radio communications for remote service dis/connect.

• Simultaneous reading capability for multiple routes

• GPS mapping for reduced drive times

• Out-of-route read collection to reduce special read visits

• Exceptional meter reading performance in a small size

• Wired or wireless data transfer using any Internet connection
