Introduction

REST APIs exposed by the Third-Party Gateway allow a utility customer to sign up for a Distributed Intelligence (DI)-related program with a utility company, using the utility's customer portal. When a utility customer signs up for a program, the customer portal calls into the Third-Party Gateway to initiate the relevant application downloads and licensing to the utility customer’s meter. The Third-Party Gateway is responsible for the following communication points:

• Provide communication between the customer portal and DI services.

• Receive requests from the customer portal and forward them to the Itron Enterprise Application Center (EAC).

• Manage request, response, and notification service bus queues.
