About the Itron Cellular 500W Module
The Cellular 500W modules are cellular radio frequency transmitting modules that attach to
water registers or meters to collect consumption usage, event, and alarm data. The Cellular
500W module is an IPv4/IPV6-compliant endpoint designated to communicate over the Itron’s
OpenWay Riva multi-purpose IoT solution: OpenWay Riva Network or the legacy
ChoiceConnect Mobile platform. The Cellular 500W module transmits in Mobile Mode offering
Mobile Handheld, Hard-to-Read Mobile, High-Power Mobile, or OpenWay Riva Network Mode.
The images below illustrate the different Cellular 500W variants. This document notes
differences between the two as needed.
Important! The three port variant is not currently available for sale.
The Cellular 500W modules ship from the factory in Factory Mode, which prevents unwanted
radio transmissions during transit. After installation and programming, the pit modules acquire
and transmit meter or register data in accordance with the selected pit module parameter
settings. The Cellular 500W modules support protocols for a variety of meter manufacturer's
registers. Refer to the Water Meter and Telemetry Module Compatibility List (PUB-0063-002)
for the list of supported meters and registers.
