Itron is announcing the availability of a remote antenna solution for use with the
OpenWay Riva CENTRON meter. This assembly is designed for installation
configurations where it is necessary to extend the RF antenna inside the meter; for
example, basement installations or metal enclosures. This antenna does not provide
any amplification of the RF signal, but provides a method to relocate the transceiver.
Some signal attenuation is expected with this configuration.

The assembly consists of an Itron flex coupler that fits the outer cover of the meter. This
allows for attaching customer provided remote fixed antennas and cabling. See Figure
