Cyble Sensor TM
Cyble technology for reliable water and gas meter data transmission
Cyble communication modules have been designed to fulfil requirements of all water and gas
management utilities willing to remote read their meters. Since meters are an important investment
for utilities, all Itron meters are pre-equipped considering actual or future evolutions towards remote
reading technologies. Proven by several millions installed Cyble modules, this patented technology
ensures reliable, remote counting.
FEATURES High Reliability Output Signals
