Firering Strategic Minerals: From explorer to producer. Watch the video here.
...... an interesting piece of information contained within the report:-
" How has CyanConnode ensured compliance with smart metering policies and standards."
" Parthasarathi Krishnan:- In India, the journey of smart metering technology has seen significant progress since the early 2000s. Initially aligning with European and American standards, the government's initiatives facilitated the development of indiginous forums to formulate new policies for smart metering and communications.
" CyanConnode has played a crucial role in this policy-making process, leveraging its global deployment experience to contribute the creation of open and robust standards. This approach ensures that end customers are free of a single technology."
I had often wondered how much a contribution CyanConnode has made, over the years, with policy-making, but this is the first time I have seen it in print. And also the " ..... leveraging its global deployment experience to contribute to the creation of open and robust standards " is very significant, I feel.
I seem to remember some " Round Table " meetings taking place between Indian Government officals and CyanConnode, some years ago. Maybe they have been continuing, but less public.
I feel sure that CyanConnode's " .... global deployment experience ..... " in India and other global regions, will/has been taken into consideration, when other global authorities are considering their options? Some definitely have.
Good Luck all.

Good afternoon all.

.......... connectivity with narrow-band RF Mesh networks:-
http://eprmagazine.com/events/cyanconnode-pioneering-last-mile-connectivity-with-narrow-band-rf-mesh-networks/
From the EPR Magazine report, which features Mr. Parthasarathi Krishnan and Mr. Aniruddha Shahpure, from CyanConnode, talking about CyanConnode's Unified Head-End System:-
Mr. Parthasarathi Krishnan:-
" The Unified Head-End System can accomodate all types of last-mile connectivity available. This includes incorporating CyanConnode local radio frequency technology and integrating seamlessly with third-party cellular, NABIO3, or PLC technology. Additionally, we are introducing long-range radio frequency communication, allowing for a remarkable 10-kilometre distance with a clear line of sight. The noteworthy advantage here is using an unlicenced spectrum, eliminating operational costs."
Mr. Aniruddha Shahpure:-
" This technology has undergone testing in challenging terrain and has proven successful. And has achieved communication, over a distance of approximately 9.7 kilometres, without encountering any hindrances."
An interesting report, I feel.
Good Luck all.

Good afternoon Vas and all,
Thank you Vas, for the information on Bihar and PM Modi's speech, it is appreciated. And as you have mentioned today and as has been mentioned previously, gas ( metres ) are being mentioned more frequently in the news now-days, along with the potential for water meters. And other developing outlets, such as smart street lighting, heat pumps, electric vehicle charging points, etc., as well as other developing product/solution technologies.
Good Luck Vas and all.

Good afternoon all,
Expanding a little on the PFCCL shortlist of 5 AMISP bidders, for a smart meter/smart grid contract, as Vas has pointed out, these AMISP bidders are:- Gemstar Infra India, HPL Electric & Power, Apraava Energy, Ramalingam Construction and Sai Computers, of which Vas has covered some of the Companies mentioned, the others, some of which, we have mentioned before.
Interestingly, of the AMISP bidders for this contract, only HPL, Apraava Energy and Sai Computers are all on the REC Empanelment List at the moment and all have a Cellular and RF offer. Of the sub-contractor companies mentioned, Iskraemeco and BCITS are also on the list and both with a Cellular and RF offer.

Good afternoon gizmo, Vas and all.
I think this is also the event that you both highlighted, so thank you for that. Are they CyanConnode coloured ballons I see at the presentation?
Or is it a coincidence.
Good Luck all.

Good morning Vas and all,
Thank you for the heads-up for the Polaris smart metering contract in Uttar Pradesh. It is appreciated.
http://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/polaris-bags-contract-for-rs-5200-crore-smart-meter-installations-in-uttar-pradesh/107222231
A nice little tick-up this morning Vas, with the share-price at the moment. Something has spooked the market, again.
Thanks again Vas.
LTI.
Vas, that is a great find in the T&D India magazine and the map of all CyanConnode's installations/projects. Excellent.
Also, doing a bit more dot-joining, it confirms/reminds us on the map, that CyanConnode have already installed two projects for MPWZ in Madhya Pradesh and one project for MPPKVVCL, also in Madhya Pradesh.
So it will be interesting to find out eventually, if there was an RF requirement in the two ongoing projects in Madhya Pradesh, in MP-East and MP-Central, that were additionally confirmed and Awarded, in the NSGM report that I posted on Friday.
The picture gets clearer, the more dot's that you join.
Good Luck, Vas.

Hello Vas and thank you for sharing the info. But as you say, it is probably a coincidence - with the dates.
I take it from the report that you posted, that PFCCL, as of January 25th, 2024, when the report was published, were not fully Empanelled, even though they have short-listed 5 bidders/consortia. The report also confirms that PFCCL, during November 2023, had begun the process of Empanelment.
Some information on PFCCL:-
http://pfcclindia.com
Also, not sure which utility is being referred to, as I don't think it is mentioned in the report. Unless I have missed it? So we will probably have to wait to find that out, after a bit more dot-joining.
But also mentioned in the report:- " Subsequent to their empanelment, PFCCL will select empanelled AMISP's, based on an RfP process, for prospective smart meter projects, taken up by PFCCL."
But thank you for the information on the other companies, Vas.
Good Luck,
LTI.
Thank you for trying Vas, it is always appreciated.
