Itron Vocabulary is a controlled vocabulary published by Itron on the APIs.io network, defining 26 terms.

Defined terms include AMI, AMR, Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE), Itron Analytics (IA Platform), and Data Warehouse API.

A controlled vocabulary pins the words an API’s schemas, parameters and documentation use to one agreed definition each — the shared language a human or an agent needs to read the API the same way its authors do.

Terms

AMI

Advanced Metering Infrastructure — two-way communicating smart-meter networks.

AMR

Automated Meter Reading — one-way meter-data collection.

Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE)

Itron's Meter Data Management (MDM) platform for storing and validating meter reads.

Itron Analytics (IA Platform)

Itron's analytics and reporting platform sitting on top of the IEE data warehouse.

Data Warehouse API

REST/OData 4.0 query API exposing the Itron Analytics data warehouse.

Distributed Intelligence (DI)

Edge-compute platform that runs purpose-built applications on Itron smart meters.

DI Application

A signed application package deployed to a DI-enabled meter via the EAC.

Intelligent Connectivity (IC)

Itron's IPv6/RF-mesh network platform plus the control software that manages device lifecycle.

Itron Networks

Branding for Itron's connectivity products (formerly Cisco IoT FAN Solution / Field Area Network).

Network Interface Card (NIC)

Module embedded in meters/devices to connect to the Itron RF mesh.

Edge Router

Gateway device aggregating RF-mesh endpoints onto IP backhaul.

Access Point

Itron RF-mesh head-end supporting thousands of devices at up to 2.4 Mbps.

Starfish Data Platform

Itron Networked Solutions REST/SDK platform for IoT device management and observations.

Starfish Studio

Itron's prototyping environment for IoT solution builders (partner-gated).

Itron Identity Service

Identity provider issuing JWTs for Itron Cloud APIs using ClientID and Client Secret.

Third-Party Gateway API

REST/JSON API bridging utility customer portals into DI program enrollment via the EAC.

Itron Enterprise Application Center (EAC)

Service handling DI application distribution, licensing, and enrollment routing.

Consumer Energy Stream (CES)

Streaming data product delivering meter consumption to consumer apps and third-party subscribers.

Intelligent Edge Operating System (IEOS)

Operating system running on Itron edge devices and hosting CES and other components.

GenX

Itron marketing umbrella for next-generation grid-edge developer platforms.

Itron Developer Program

Partner-gated program providing SDKs, APIs, sandboxes, and go-to-market support for DI and IC.

Communicating Endpoint

Itron's headline metric for cumulative meters, modules, and IoT devices shipped (310M+ delivered).

Endpoint Under Management

Active meters/devices currently managed by Itron software (112M+).

Service Point

Physical point of utility service (meter location) referenced in IA / Data Warehouse entities.

Interval Read

Time-bucketed meter consumption sample (typically 5/15/60-minute granularity).

Revenue Class

Billing classification of a utility account (residential, commercial, industrial).
