Consorcio de Aguas de Bilbao Bizkaia in Northern Spain Receives Itron’s 3 Millionth Cyble 5 Module

Itron Inc. shipped its three millionth Cyble 5 communication module to Consorcio de Aguas de Bilbao Bizkaia (CABB), a Spanish water utility serving over 1 million residents across 100+ municipalities.
The Cyble 5 module converts existing mechanical water meters into smart devices without requiring full meter replacement or wiring.
Key features include drive-by & AMI data collection, an easy clip-on design, & durability against harsh conditions like water exposure, corrosion, & temperature fluctuations.
Deployment replaces CABB's previous manual reading process, enabling efficient data collection to identify leaks & unusual usage patterns.
Meter data is managed via Itron's Temetra platform, which supports secure remote storage, improved billing accuracy, & faster response to pipe breaks.
CABB has collaborated with Itron for nearly 20 years to scale infrastructure for Bizkaia's steady population growth.
Justin Patrick, Itron's Senior Vice President of Devices, noted that Cyble 5 deployments across the UK, France, & Spain demonstrate effectiveness in diverse environments.
The milestone highlights the module's role in maximizing revenue through accurate billing & smooth operations for utilities globally.
