lectricity Metering Networks
Electricity utilities and meter manufacturers are investigating ways of introducing Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to their businesses.

These technologies can significantly improve the information made available to energy service providers, including detailed energy usage profiles, diagnostic and status data from metering devices, and instantaneous usage from industrial and domestic consumers. This in turn helps to reduce the cost of taking readings, and prevent financial loss due to the fraudulent use of supplies. Load balancing can also be improved when information on instantaneous usage is provided. In addition consumers can benefit from improved information on their energy usage patterns by making better use of off-peak tariffs.

Cyan offers wireless Point-to-Point (P2P) and Meshing solutions for electricity AMR/AMI. Cyan's P2P solution use its ISM frequency band RF nodes (433/470/868/915/865 MHz). These allow a handheld meter reading device to directly communicate with each meter. Cyans meshing solution uses the same RF nodes to connect meters to a GPRS Gateway. A CyNet mesh network is formed around the gateway, which can be used to collate energy profiles, receive instantaneous readings, and send tariff updates to the meter. Cyan's GPRS Gateways can automatically monitor the mesh network and collect meter readings. Each GRPS Gateway has a RF node to connect to the local mesh network and GPRS modem for remote collection and monitoring from the backhaul system

Gas Metering Networks
A rise in energy prices and increasing focus on environmental issues has led to the demand for energy efficiency. As a result governments are legislating for the provision of Automated Meter Reading with a long term plan to move to fully Automated Metering Infrastructure

Cyan offers a wireless gas meter network solution that enables city wide deployment of wireless gas meters. The network uses Cyan's Cy-Net low power mesh network over ISM band (433/470/868/915/865 MHz). Each gas meter becomes an RF node on the network communicating with other RF nodes as well as mains powered concentrator gateways. The concentrators, Cyan's GPRS Gateways, automatically monitor the mesh network and collect readings from the meters.

Each GRPS Gateway has a RF node to connect to the local mesh network as well as GPRS for backhaul to remote central collection and monitoring system.

Industrial
Cyan's range of gateways and radio nodes can be used in a wide variety of monitoring and control applications. The RF nodes have on board resources such as Analogue to Digital converters with 12-bit resolution, digital inputs and outputs, timers and counters.

These can be used with external circuitry to sense conditions such as temperature, humidity, and movement. The combination of these resources, the Cy-Net radio mesh, and GPRS gateway can then be used to report telemetry to a central point, and/or send control signals to each remote node.

Street and Tunnel Lighting
With the rise of energy pricing and new regulation, operators of public lighting systems are driven to reduce operating costs. These reductions can be achieved by remotely controlling each lamp and managing its brightness according to need and by decreasing maintenance requirements by detecting faults remotely.

Cyan's technologies and products provide a complete control and communications network and user interface to lighting manufacturers. This complete system solution allows lighting manufacturers to manufacture and sell RF controlled street and tunnel lighting systems.

Proof of Concept Order and Distribution Agreement

Cyan (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, announces that it has signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with XLink Communications (Pty) Ltd ("XLink") to distribute Cyan's smart metering and lighting solutions as well as related Internet of Things applications in South Africa.

XLink, recognised by Frost & Sullivan in 2014 for its technology best practice in M2M, aims to be the market leader in the provision of wireless data M2M communication services and solutions throughout Africa and globally.

XLink will distribute Cyan's smart energy communication technology, which enables the measurement and control of energy consumption for the metering and lighting markets, helping to increase energy security and reduce costs. In addition, XLink will provide technical, field-based system integration and technical support for the deployment of Cyan's technology across South Africa. XLink are experienced in the deployment of infrastructure assets and associated projects for the energy, M2M and telecoms sectors.

The agreement includes an initial order for Cyan's smart metering hardware and software, CyLec, for a 100 unit Proof of Concept project in South Africa.

Newsflow, SP graph
..............Not looking good is it?
Directors buy large chunks of shares ( Well done them ) yet there are sellers out there that just want to off-load their holdings. SP just wanders down further.

Until they can find some decent income-stream this will continue - you cannot rely on retail investors to keep buying - why should they?
Obviously, CYAN Directors "expect" it to come good, but they would and need to protect their earlier commitments . . . . but from my perspective it's not looking like they have something to should about yet . . . and maybe not at all....
EDIT (17Dec2015)- Looks like another 100m dilutive shares have hoved in...Oh deary.

Good luck to anyone that attends - perhaps a run-through of impressions later?
-but please do not copy/paste Co. hand-outs.

CYAN Dirs since 2013 have been investing in their Big Thing . . . yet consistently their trust in themselves has been dashed - so why should anyone else put their money there? I distrust Co's that operate out of the UK . . . it means you cannot really check what's up....and gives rise to the suspicion that they can't convince UK folks to pay for their services either.
If UK Co's can supply suitable metering kit ( and pres. the whole of Europe!), then why does CYAN have to scurry off the other side of the globe? It makes little sense to me. . . . . and their turnover/profits rather confirm it in crisp detail.
I note that one recent Dir details shows LSE Subx - yet that appears to be zippo... anyone?
EDIT (23Feb2016)- RNS - Cyan sells kit to Iran - about £60k-worth . . . but it does show they have sales and it's tech that others want . . . good news of sorts . . . but no mention of "profits" and I missed any "servicing contract" -
EDIT-(6April2016)- sp rises 100% (=0.28p)on large Iran order ( do we sell there, too?) - DYOR....but it seems the sales will be in next FY . . . so expect sp to slip well before then.... still, modestly good news, eh?
EDIT-(11April2016)- Just to bring us down to Ground-level. . . I hope the Dirs have ensured they get a large pre-payment so if this Order goes wrong CYAN shareholders aren't left holding the baby.... Whilst the Order may be a turning-point if it goes well and cust. is satisfied - there are plenty of issues/places where high-tech can falter - unbeknowns on both sides . . . Seller Beware !...
EDIT (29April2016) sp ~ 0.29 - abt. double a short while (no-news) ago. This could be MM "push" -
EDIT(22Aug2016)-sp ~ 1p13, despite a big increase noted here . . . but it's still losing money and no prospect of a dividend for the years we've waiting - AND still dilution reigns. This is a drain.

Well.....this is a turn up for the book !.......a massive order from Iran of all places !.....£10 million pound contract.....for once one of my dogs is no longer one.....
