For all this motives the shares at 1.15p are worth taking some aboard

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.

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 !!!

AGM Statement.

At today's AGM of Cyan (AIM:CYAN), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, Kenn Lamb, CEO made the following statement:

"The progress that we reported at the time of our preliminary results on 28th March continues unabated. The upswing in order enquiries continues and we now see substantial momentum in our lighting control business.

"Accordingly, we remain convinced that this year will be the major turning point following two years of trials and product development by the Company. Since March we have announced another initial order for 10,000 units of CyLux taking the company into lighting on gas and oil installations in India and the Middle East.CyLux, our wireless lighting control system is proving popular and easy to integrate into a wide range of lights.

"In addition, the Company received the first order for a CyLux installation in Europe, where CyLux controlled LED lighting is to be installed into a road tunnel in Italy.

"In common with prior lighting order announcements these represent initial orders for initial projects with the expectation of follow on orders to satisfy the total requirement of the initial project as well and new projects from these customers. Initial orders, therefore, represent a small fraction of the much larger opportunity with each new customer.

"Cyan now has an established foothold in lighting control markets where energy saving is a powerful market driver and ROI periods are short. The board looks forward to the year ahead with confidence."

Order Update: China Public Lighting Control

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 announces that it has received a follow on order from a previously announced Chinese Lighting customer.

This follow on order is for a further 12,000 modules, for a project which has now grown to over 220,000 units in a single city. Including this order Cyan has received orders for 24,000 units to date from this customer for this project and Cyan expects to receive orders to fulfil it.

The Board of Cyan understands that since the initial order, this customer has been actively marketing their HID lighting solution incorporating Cyan's technology and has three further cities poised to order their product. This follow-on order will be installed in a suburb of the city for which the first order was made before the end of Q3, in order to demonstrate a single installation of greater than 10,000 lights and also to demonstrate a new maintenance feature implemented by Cyan. This additional software feature will signal the location and type of any light failure and provide a list of required maintenance calls each morning. Cyan understands that this demonstration of a 10,000 light installation is a prerequisite for orders from these three cities. Cyan believes that it is reasonable to assume that new cities will have comparable requirements.

Since the original order this customer's product has received authorization and endorsement from multiple Chinese agencies. Additionally Cyan has been informed that in July this customer expects to be allocated further cities under a government sponsored and investment funded energy management contract (Emc). The Board understands that the potential contract could require replacement levels in excess of five million of units over a three year period.

Kenn Lamb, CEO of Cyan Holdings plc commented:

"I am delighted to announce this follow on order. We have been working with this customer on their initial installations and have developed a hand held unit that will accelerate deployment, but even without this the customer is on track to achieve their target installation rate of 10,000 units per month in this first city. We can see that a further three cities are likely to place orders early in Q4, but it is the breaking news of the imminent release of government funds for EMC contracts that will transform the size of the market for this customer and for Cyan lighting control products. The potential requirement for millions of units in over three years is consistent with our understanding of the size of the lighting market in China and could be transformational in the Company's growth. This is one of a number of active lighting customers in China and India, which together promise to deliver significant revenue growth. I am pleased to announce that first half 2011 revenues will exceed revenues for the whole of 2010 despite this being only the very beginnings of the expected revenue growth curve."

Nice candle with volume.

Trading Update for the First Half of 2011

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 provide the following trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2011.

In the first half of 2011 revenues significantly exceeded revenues for the whole of 2010.

Additionally, Cyan has received a new order for 50,000 units of a legacy product increasing a substantial order backlog. Assuming this backlog of orders, accumulated during the first half of 2011, is delivered within the current financial year, the revenues generated in the second half of this year are likely to be double that shown in the first half and in excess of the total revenues shown in 2009 and 2010 combined.

Kenn Lamb CEO of Cyan Holdings commented:

"I am delighted to be able to report such strong growth in the first half despite the seasonal effects of reduced first quarter trading in China. The revenues and backlog halfway through the year represent the tip of the anticipated growth curve and we expect bookings in the second half to be stronger than those in the first half.

"The backlog represents only the initial orders for initial projects of existing customers, who prefer to place regular orders that match the rate of installation and not a single order for the total opportunity. Whilst we are targeting orders from new customers during the second half of 2011, additionally, we expect significant repeat orders for initial projects from existing customers, as well as new orders from existing customers for new projects. Added to this we expect to enjoy a run of orders from a pipeline of new customers.

"These factors should support a faster rate of growth in the second half than we have experienced during the first half of 2011."

Interim Results.

Strategic Agreement with Shanghai Yaming Lighting Company

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 announces that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Shanghai Yaming Lighting Co., Ltd 'Yaming'.

Yaming is a well respected and long established lighting company that claims to be the largest manufacturer of Street Lighting sold in China. Established in 1923, Yaming has 87 years of experience in lighting development and has several subsidiary companies and operates as part of several joint ventures.

A new Yaming Emc (Energy Management Contract) company has been seeking a wireless control partner for its HPS (High Pressure Sodium) and HID (High Intensity Discharge) and LED Lighting Products. Cyan has been chosen by Yaming to be that partner.

Yaming's long history, the size of the company and its reputation for quality puts Yaming in a strong position to win future EMC lighting contracts across China, and Cyan is delighted that Yaming has selected Cyan's CyLux lighting control technology.

Yaming has already purchased a number of CyLux controllers that have been installed in Yaming lights for a pilot installation used to demonstrate the working product to municipality officials. Other controllers have been purchased so that the entire assembly can be put through accelerated life tests and meet Yaming quality standards. These products are scheduled to commence production shipments in February 2012.

Cyan has signed an agreement to co-operate in the addition of further customer requested features into the Cyan lighting management system and to modify the graphics to feature Yaming Branding.

Kenn Lamb, CEO of Cyan Holdings Plc commented:

"We have worked hard for some time to secure this strategic partnership, as we believe that it positions us well for future growth in the Chinese street lighting market. Yaming is likely to be awarded a significant portion of future EMC's and, as such, we look forward to Yaming winning large contracts for its wireless lighting control product. Yaming's selection of Cyan is expected to have a positive influence on other companies seeking a wireless lighting control solution."
