The partners are planning to market their co-developed NTL solution to utilities across the world and more so in Brazil.
The NTL solution will help utilities quickly and effectively identify, recover electricity losses and increase profits.
Itron will bring its smart metering and data management solutions and integrate it with Choice’s Revenue Intelligence technology to develop the solution.
Choice and Itron will benefit from the new solution by optimizing their abilities to create, collect, measure, store and analyze meter information.
Itron Latin America electricity business line general manager Gadner Vieira said many utilities in Brazil and Latin America face non-technical electrical losses.
"By collaborating with Choice, we are bringing together two industry leaders to create a solution that addresses one of Brazilian utilities’ greatest needs," Vieira added.
Choice CEO Denis Maia said, "Choice’s extensive experience in the Brazilian market combined with Itron’s global leadership in advanced AMI and MDM solutions will deliver a best-in-class NTL solution to the electricity market."
