Tantalus Systems Holding ( (TSE:GRID) ) has provided an announcement.

Tantalus Systems has extended its license agreement with Itron, ensuring full compatibility between Itron’s widely deployed ERT metering technology and Tantalus’ TRUConnect AMI platform. The deal lets utilities continue using existing ERT-based AMR and legacy AMI infrastructure, including Advanced SCM+ and Enhanced Fixed Network features, while migrating to a more advanced, data-rich grid platform.

By uniquely retaining rights to read the complete ERT messaging set, Tantalus gives utilities a path to modernize without stranding capital-intensive assets or risking Itron warranties. Enhanced access to hourly interval data, tamper alerts and advanced consumption analytics via TRUConnect and TRUScan strengthens grid visibility, reduces integration risk and deployment costs, and supports smarter billing, leak detection and distribution optimization.

The arrangement covers a broad range of Itron electric, water and gas ERT devices, as well as bridge meters and smart gas meters, and is underpinned by Tantalus’ proprietary communications silicon, firmware and protocol-processing stack. This positions Tantalus as a key interoperability partner for utilities seeking to transition from mobile meter reading to fixed-network, industrial IoT smart grid operations while managing regulatory, customer and budget pressures.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:GRID) stock is a Buy with a C$6.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Tantalus Systems Holding stock, see the TSE:GRID Stock Forecast page.
