The CCU 100 (also known as a cell control unit or collector) is the main collection point
for the ChoiceConnect Fixed Network. The CCU reads data from Itron electricity meters,
gas endpoints, and water endpoints and gathers consumption, daily, or hourly meter reads,
and other information from endpoints and communicates it back to the utility over a
public or private network. When used with the Fixed Network Repeater 100, the coverage
territory per CCU 100 is extended. It also manages the collection, processing, and storage
of endpoint data and can support two-way functionality to the endpoint. Equipped with a
backup battery, the CCU 100’s adaptable design allows for a wide range of installation
options, utilizing either AC or solar power.
Repeater 100s are used to extend the range of the CCU and add communication reliability
and redundancy between endpoints and collectors. Installed on towers, buildings, poles or
other structures, the Repeater 100 collects meter data from Itron electricity meters, gas
endpoints, and water endpoints and relays the meter data to collectors within the network.
This makes the ChoiceConnect 100 Fixed Network cost-effective by reducing the number
of required collectors.
Important Proper installation of the CCU/repeater ensures trouble-free operation of
the Itron Fixed Network system. The installation of both the collector and repeater
must be done by professional installers.
