Good afternoon all,

From the report posted earlier:-

" Up until now, Landis+Gyr had used our FG12 SOC running their own proprietary stack, but because WI-SUN is an open network, it offers increased interoperability and simplified development, meaning it can scale to match the massive size of a city. And while the FG12 helped Landis+Gyr drastically reduce power consumption of their devices, it didn't have the RAM needed for WI-SUN and OFDM. By moving to the FG25 WI-SUN SoC, Landis+Gyr not only increases the performance of their solution, but also gives their customers a smooth WI-SUN transition because the FG25 runs their proprietary stack as well. With both the MCU and Transceiver on the same chip, FG25 uses the same factor as Landis+Gyr existing module, simplifying the development and design process to integrate the new SoC."

So it seems as though Landis&Gyr are also now using and benefitting from integrating the WI-SUN FG25, into their solutions/meters/stack, as well as CyanConnode.

Especially if you take into account that " ...... it can scale to match the massive size of a city."

As I commented earlier, " It seems like it could be a shrewed move, by the senior management of CyanConnode. And also cost effective."

But opinions can differ.

Good afternoon all,

A little bit more from the report:-

" Silicon Labs is excited to have the FG25 be part of CyanConnode's commitment to providing innovative and secure smart metering solutions in India and around the world."

So although this seems initially, to be an India focused initiative, it could turn out to be a global colloboration between Silicon Labs and CyanConnode.

It seems like it could turn out to be a shrewed move, by the senior management of CyanConnode. And also very cost effective.

Good luck all.

LTI.

A little bit more from the report:-

" CyanConnode, a global leader in narrowband RF mesh networking, has been supporting India's smart metering market for a decade. CyanConnode's technology provides a robust and scalable solution for this purpose, which has made it an attractive option for utilities and other organizations in India. CyanConnode's technology utilizes WI-SUN to provide communications between smart meters and the central system, enabling utilities to collect real-time information about energy consumption and manage their networks more effectively. The use of WI-SUN allows CyanConnode to provide a robust and scalable communications infrastructure for its smart meter networks, enabling utilities to deploy large-scale IoT networks with confidence.

" The company originally designed the MCU at the heart of its platform, through in-house development, but as the capabilities of MCUs advanced, the company made the decision to turn to a COTS solution. Silcon Labs offered an integrated solution that provided a monolithic MCU and a transceiver and Silcon Labs track record of supporting the WI-SUN standard, made it possible for CyanConnode to spend less time focussed on complex and time consuming radio design and more on its core mesh RF utility platform. CyanConnode is also utilizing Silcon Labs FAN certified WI-SUN stack, which provides a comprehensive set of features including advanced security, mesh networking and routing capabilities, further reducing development time and cost."

Good morning all,

This seems like a very progressive adaption by CyanConnode, of FG25, in the ever changing smart meter/smart grid global developement.

From the report:-

" CyanConnode has found a solution that meets its requirements for performance, cost, and supportability. And as metering solutions evolve, the meters themselves get more complex and expectations for what they are able to provide utility customers is increasing."

Again, excellent and well done to all concerned

Good morning all,

From a report dated 9th February, 2023:-

An interesting read.

Good afternoon tonyj,

As I understand it, individual tenders are tendered for by different consortia. Each consortia having already decided who will " lead " the project and who the " sub-contractors " will be for each element.

CyanConnode has different Partners, who may be tendering for the same over-all contract. So, as the saying goes, " .... you have more bites of the cherry .... ".

So, as I see it, the more Partners that CyanConnode has on the REC Empanelment List, the more chances that CyanConnode has to be part of the winning consortium.

It has taken many years to build these successful Partnerships, which we should all see some benefit from, over the years to come.

All in my opinion, of course.

LTI.

...... and HPL Electric & Power.

Good morning tonyj and all,

It is certainly good news for HPL, with the two orders they have registered recently. So we will have to wait and see if the " trickle-down " effect reaches CyanConnode. I would think that we have as good a chance as any other Company.

At the moment, CyanConnode have four contributors, that we know of, on the REC Emapalment List, IntelliSmart Infrastructure, Montecarlo, Genus Power and Schneider Electric India. With Avon Meters and Linkwell Telesystems mentioned in a passed RNS.

So, Interesting times indeed.

LTI.

Good evening all,

Or maybe it could be this more recent one, dated February 28th, 2023.

http://business-standard.com/article/news-cm/hpl-electric-spurts-on-bagging-order-worth-rs-409-cr-123022800494_1.html

It would seem HPL may have been busy.

LTI.

Sorry, should read " Is this the contract ....... "

LTI.

Good evening OzzieAbroad and all,

Is this this contract that you are referring to Ozzie, from January 2nd, 2023, or is there another one?

Thanks in advance.

LTI.

Good morning gizmo, tonyj and all,

Thank you both for the information on CESC. It will be very interesting to see if anything comes out of the melting-pot.

LTI.

Good afternoon tonyj and all,

I agree, with the Indore perspective and with the other successful CyanConnode and Partners installations over the years. Both IPv4 and IPv6.

I also agree with the introduction of the mainly TOTEX model, that has made smart meter projects more affordable and possible. And with the introduction of the Framework Agreement, payments are more contractualized and regular, so companies know where they stand.

Onwards and hopefully upwards, over the next few months.

Good luck all.

LTI.

You are welcome tonyj,

I should have posted this earlier. I also notice that it mentions within the Finals Results RNS, published on 23rd August, 2022, that during that period, the " Cyber security certification completed on CyanConnode Head End System ( HES ) ( CERT-IN certified )."

Good morning all,

Over the last few month's, the Empanelment Qualification Process, as we know, has been ongoing. The latest update has seen Linkwell Telesystems Pvt. Ltd, joining the list, with Avon Meters Pvt. Ltd. also joining the list earlier in the year.

Both Avon Meters and Linkwell were mentioned in the 23rd August, 2022, Final Results.

From the report:-

" Integration with two further meter manufacturers ( Avon Meters and Linkwell ) were recommenced, which will result in Omnimesh modules being compatible with the five leading manufacturers in India."

We understand that has since increased to 9 meter manufacturers in India, at the last disclosure, that are aligned with CyanConnode.

So, interesting times indeed.

LTI.

..... has tweeted:-

" And that's a wrap! An eventful 5 days at ElecramaLive. It wouldn't have been possible without our dynamic team who ensured that every single person who visited our booth goes with a detailed understanding of our comms solution & its impact on #SmartMetering landscape in #India."

Well done to all concerned. Excellent.

LTI.

Good afternoon tonyj,

Thank you for the feed-back on the link. But in fairness, I put a space between " com " and the " forward slash " before " CyanConnode."

But as long as the CyanConnode India Team were able to get their message across, that will be the main thing.

LTI.

.... was updated on 20th February, 2023 and has 5 additions from the last update.

..... has tweeted a video from the CyanConnode booth at ElecramaLive, with some dialog from one of CyanConnode's technical team, on hand.

A little bit of back-ground noise to contend with, but the technical guys did well, under the circumstances.
