Directors Buying:
Over 4 Millions share were bought by directors during this month

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.

Second Pilot in Brazil and Order Update

skinny - 17 Sep 2014 07:05 - 226 of 272

New Pilot with Indian State-Owned Utility

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 a bidding consortium of 5 companies including Cyan, has deployed a proof of concept pilot of 60 meters to demonstrate Cyan's CyLec Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") technology with the Indian state-owned utility, Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Ltd ("UGVCL").

The pilot, in Naroda and Deesa, is part of a competitive tender process that began in late 2013 with four other bidding consortia, consisting of technology providers, system integrators and meter manufacturers supplying their AMI solutions for evaluation by the utility. The consortium which includes Cyan technology is believed to be the only one to have demonstrated an interoperable, sub-GHz smart metering solution. If Cyan's consortium is successful, it would represent a major endorsement of the Company's hardware and software and is expected to clearly illustrate the CyLec compelling value proposition for other electricity utilities across the region.

The UGVCL pilot is one of 14 smart grid pilots under the Smart Grid Task Force ("SGTF") in India being run by the Ministry of Power. Whilst no guarantee can be given at this time that the consortium will be successful in converting this pilot into a commercial order, or that UGVCL will roll out AMI on completing its evaluations of the various solutions currently in pilot phase, Cyan is pleased that its technology has already proven its interoperability across two meters supplied by different manufacturers.

In a separate smart metering initiative at the same utility, Cyan was formally invited by UGVCL in April 2014 to install a further 100 meter 865MHz smart metering proof of concept. The pilot letter specification required that the meters be capable of self forming/self healing mesh networking and be capable of being read at a range of at least 100 meters. This pilot has also now been deployed by Cyan, with UGVCL expected to evaluate the results over the next few months.

John Cronin, Executive Chairman, commented: "We are delighted to have our first commercial order for a public utility in India, following our two private utility project wins at Tata Power and Essel Utilities last year. The order for the CESC project, one of the 14 smart grid pilot projects in India, will provide substantial credibility for Cyan's CyLec solution amongst government-owned utilities as well as the wider energy distribution market. Furthermore, it will act as an authoritative reference to opportunities in India and across Asia.

"CyLec has been developed to address the requirements of utilities in next-generation economies, of which India is one of the leaders; India has a growing population and 300 million without power* The Indian government has committed to spend billions of dollars on smart grid infrastructure, according to a new report from Northeast Group. The report forecasts that over the period 2015-2025 the cumulative spend will be $21.6 billion**. At present, India has 200 million legacy meters currently deployed and it is estimated it will install 130 million smart meters by 2021***. We look forward to building further on our market leading position and taking a significant role in this technological evolution."
