Itron Earns Three IoT Evolution Product of the Year Awards

Smarter energy and water management requires connecting grid devices on a secure, reliable network and transforming real-time data into actionable insights. As we continue to make this vision a reality for our customers, we're excited to share that three of our IoT-enabled solutions-IntelliFLEX™, CityEdge™ and Intelligent Connectivity-have been recognized with the 2025 IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award.

"The solutions selected for the IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award reflect the diverse range of innovation driving the multi-billion dollar IoT market today. It is my honor to congratulate Itron for their innovative work and superior contribution to the rapidly evolving IoT industry," said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, a co-publisher of IoT Evolution.

Here's how these award-winning solutions are driving the industry forward.

IntelliFLEX: Laying the Foundation for a Decentralized Grid

Utilities face increasing pressure to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) and accommodate new generation capacity at the grid edge without compromising reliability. Traditional, centralized approaches often fall short.

Itron's IntelliFLEX grid edge DER management system (DERMS) bridges this gap with peak management, autonomous consumer engagement and seamless DER coordination through AI-driven forecasting and distributed intelligence. By delivering real-time visibility and control, IntelliFLEX equips utilities to manage a decentralized grid at scale, while ensuring grid resilience, flexibility and long-term reliability.  

CityEdge: Unifying Data, Enabling Collaboration

Cities and utilities are being called to deliver more connected, efficient and sustainable services despite limited resources and rapid urbanization. The two have historically worked in silos, but that's beginning to change.

Itron's CityEdge portfolio enables real-time utility-city collaboration across critical infrastructure, integrating IoT technologies on a secure, multi-transport network. By unifying data from multiple domains (e.g. public safety, environmental, traffic, etc.), CityEdge helps cities and utilities improve operational efficiency, enhance public services and advance sustainability goals-together.

Intelligent Connectivity: Creating Smarter, Better-Connected Communities

As demand for energy and water grows, so does the need for secure, adaptive connectivity. Legacy one-way communication networks lack the resilience and intelligence utilities need to address modern challenges.

Itron's Intelligent Connectivity solutions answer this call, delivering adaptive, resilient networks that support grid edge applications, distributed intelligence, advanced metering infrastructure and more. This foundation ensures utilities can maintain service reliability today while integrating new capabilities over time.

Driving the Industry Forward

These awards affirm Itron's commitment to innovating new ways for utilities and cities to better manage energy, water and critical infrastructure. There's much more to come on our journey toward a more resourceful world, and we look forward to navigating it together.
