Itron (ITRI) is announcing today that Columbia Gas of Ohio is going to deploy its smart metering technology across 1.4 million gas meters over the course of the next 5 years.  Columbia Gas will deploy the 40GB Gas ERT modules and may implement the larger 100G series modules in selected areas which would allow for more frequent metering data collection.
