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.

Hangon

Muncaster has either floated or been involved in the flotation of a quite few AIM comps, I don't think any of them have survived to provide the longer term investor a return; in fact entirely the opposite, CYAN is about the only one still listed. Anyone who got into this pile of dog poo at flotation will have lost the majority of their cash.

Could be a star of 2011.....I'm expecting a lot more orders like that....

That is what they need orders and then more orders with good margins .......


Cyan wins China public lighting control order

Cyan has won an initial order for wireless monitoring and control of outdoor public lighting in China.

The initial order is for 10,000 modules, and installation will start after the Chinese New Year in Q1 2011.

The customer's initial project requires the replacement of 200,000 street lights in a single city and the installation rate is expected to exceed 10,000 units per month by Q4 2011.

The end customer is a large established Chinese lighting manufacturer which says it has already won, or expects to win, contracts in three further cities, albeit for smaller projects.

China cracked also India--the potential here is obviously massive imo. I held on here hoping the co would survive, the bod put money in and took shares in lieu so backed their technology----looks as though it's soon to pay off! next year a good one I hope. DYOR!

china cracked ????? and Q4 of 2011 before any 'real' sales I've been with this sometime and its always failed to deliver

Probably took shares MP because there wasn't any money to take!

so whats driving the 20% rise today ???

Insider OR Hot air I suspect, no RNS and Dir buying (ie Cash) 7k early Dec2010......hardly a vote of confidence.
This is a sickly puppy tied to an old gas meter, badly needs a walk, which is what retail shareholders should have done years ago.
Any remote meter-reading will take years to roll-out and it's only the meter-maker that may make some dough, not this tiny chipper - all IMHO. If it came to it, there are plenty of Si chip designers that can manage similar projects and I suspect the roll-out would go to competitive tender - why would any Energy Authority let CYAN name their price?.
Does anyone serioously think China/India can't make meter-reading chips?

It would be nice to see some Brit. success; but as always Co's are left to fight solo until the cash runs out. . . . . will we never invest in ourselves?
Oh yessir, plenty of money for Olympics, for a hanfull of medals and then sell-off the stadium to friends - where is the mass-employment future in that?

Moving into a BREAKOUT from recent attemps to go over 1.15p

1.55p +0.30p or 24%

BREAK OUT well ahead with volume buying

The break out is doing wonders for the share price, one of the top risers of the day

Damn...I sold out the other day.....rocketing now.....

Signature of Memorandum of Understanding and Trading Update

Cyan (AIM:CYAN), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to implement a partnership with a large manufacturing company in India that has developed a sophisticated web based city lighting control system for a contract to replace 375,000 streetlights in one city. The partnership agreement gives the customer access to Cyan server control technology on condition of use of Cyan lighting control products and the active marketing of the combined solution to other cities. An initial order for 1,000 units has been received to set up a demonstration facility of the combined lighting control system.

The Company is also pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2010.In the second half of 2010 Cyan, announced orders for tens of thousands of street lighting controllers, each for initial projects with future requirements for hundreds of thousands of units. These orders and customers represent a small proportion of Cyan's current active lighting-customer engagements, which in turn represents a fraction of the emerging global street light replacement market.

During 2010, Cyan shipped tens of thousands of units to wireless utility metering customers around the world. Most of these units were installed into large-scale trials. In the second half of 2010 a number of customers indicated to the Company that they were bidding for tenders of substantial quantity, and already in 2011 Cyan is aware of two new tenders for in excess of one million units.

Cyan has developed technology and products that deliver cost effective ready-to-deploy solutions. These allow established lighting and utility metering manufacturers to easily enhance their products to support remotely managed wireless networks of street-lights or utility-meters. There is substantial growing global demand for such wireless management networks and in recent years Cyan has made significant investment and has gained extensive expertise in designing, manufacturing and deploying such networks.

Cyan has evolved from developing and supplying just the wireless communication components, to providing complete system solutions, so much so that the Company is now better described as an integrated system design company.

As such Cyan has attracted the attention of major organizations in different countries, including government departments that are tasked to specify the next generation of wireless utility metering for their countries. One such organization, as part of a technology and supplier evaluation program, has recently informed Cyan that its current gas metering products have 'solid technology that already meets 99% of their requirement'. The Directors of Cyan are optimistic that they will soon be able to announce that the conclusion to this program has been the selection of Cyan as the partner for the next five to ten years, which could establish Cyan as the dominant wireless gas meter AMR technology supplier in that country.

In another region, Cyan has recently succeeded in initiating a program of engagement directly with a number of utility companies and influential government departments, who propose to define the requirements for their next generation wireless electricity meters. Cyan is supported by a number of established meter manufacturers who have already adopted and incorporated Cyan products into their own wireless electricity meters, and wish to see Cyan's mesh technology incorporated into any new national standard.

At the start of 2010 Cyan was well positioned with a number of lighting and utility meter manufacturers in multiple countries. At the beginning of 2011 Cyan's position has been considerably strengthened with a number of leading organisations that either specify or influence the choice of wireless lighting and utility metering technology. This is in part the result of becoming a fully integrated system design business and the efforts and increased reputation of the Company within these regions.

Outlook

The recent years of research and development have put Cyan at the forefront of wireless mesh networking technology for street-lighting control and utility metering, and the Directors are delighted with the progress the Company has made and in particular over the past six months. With our recently strengthened balance sheet, we are very confident for the outlook of the business during 2011 and beyond and look forward to reporting further progress to shareholders in due course.

Significant Initial Orders in New Territories

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM: Cyan.L), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, is pleased to announce two new orders that will see Cyan's 'CyLux' lighting control systems installed in two new geographical regions and market segments for the Company.

As part of today's agreement, Cyan has received an initial order for 10,000 units of CyLux, which the Company understands will be installed in a new vapour sealed HID lighting product to be used on gas and oil installations in India and the Middle East.

In addition, Cyan has received the first order for a CyLux installation in Europe. LED lighting, monitored and controlled by CyLux wireless lighting control systems, is to be installed into a road tunnel in Italy.

CyLux is suitable for new lighting installations or can be retrofitted to existing systems. Indeed, through two of Cyan's partner companies, CyLux modules are being installed into ballasts for HID and HPS lights as well as drivers for LED lights. This eases the adoption of CyLux monitoring and control for lighting manufacturers as they can now simply install 'Cyan-Inside' ballasts or drivers to make CyLux enabled lighting products. The Company believes this factor will lead to a rapid rise in CyLux shipments.

Kenn Lamb,CEO, Cyan commented:

"These customers are installing our products within early stage projects and we expect high levels of follow on orders as their projects unfold. Initial orders, therefore, represent a small fraction of the much larger opportunity with each new customer".

"Today's announcement is significant in that it is taking us into new world markets beyond our existing reach as a business; principally Asia. It is pleasing to see our hard work leading to expansion into other geographical regions, which could well be the turning point for the Company".

It is good to see one of my little acorns starting to flourish. I hope the sp will be many multiples of today in a couple more years.

This is still a jam tommorrow story never seem to get beyond an initial order !!!
