Good evening LTI.. I would have liked some updated news on volume sales but it takes a long time for action in India. However that is a minor inconvenience as long as the work is there. I don't think Heather would have been committed that far without being confident of large orders. To me Mysore started the ball rolling and Indore was the icing on the cake.
CC RF has impressed greatly and where desired I feel has good prospects especially going via the 3 largest manufacturers who I take it still supply 50% of Indian meter market. That's a lot of meters of all shapes between them.
DYOR

Well for a facts man Colour that was all hype. I mentioned the DCU development you knew nothing of it and are just trying to dig an argument. You have said yourself everything takes a ridiculously long time in India. I should not imagine the R&D was a great cost as he already has the team and it would be an advantage to be inclusive. I did not say Indian Gov required it but you seem to think so, where did that information come from or did you just dream it.
If you are wrong do not mislead.
DYOR

Well Colour, you can't contain yourself. I do not think the DCU is a situation to worry about unless of course you know differently. You can see by delivery chart that units are rolling out dramatically so no hold ups there.
Perhaps you can enlighten all on here if CC should worry about DCU's as you have again raised the issue.
I think that JC was just trying to make it easier to install and be more up to date not aware a requirement.
DYOR

Colour, I recon they are listening but still slow and probably too big to organise.
May be they need an Intellismart (EESL) for each 50 million meters. So 5 in all.
Could lead to better on the ground co-ordination.
That would suit CC with 5 smaller pipelines.

Hello jake. Quiet weekend.. Closing thoughts, When I first joined Brigade we had old Home Office equipment hoisted upon us, probably cheap rental. Pre computers, had key and lamp units, punch hole tape telex, appliance disposition wall map, duty boards, very much like RAF wartime and this was 1965 and run to 1989. I was a Control Commander for East London.
We moved into computer age very slowly, had a state of the art giant goldfish bowl type room built to cover whole of Greater London, 20 personnel positions and a map board say 30feet wide X 20feet high, it was massive and computer run but had 110 stations to be seen by whole room, running from Heathrow to Hornchurch to Croydon and all in between.
Don't know how they can run modern systems without this visual map.
I felt for the duty crew that had the Tower Block disaster, I've had many tight situations but to control such a pressure of work would have been something to experience.
Nothing to do with CC of course.

Hello jake.. well the Chinese recon 88 but I feel that is a bit too long to wait.
Your 3am comment threw me back to when had a problem during a major incident, with all frames failing and reserve. The IT came down from upstairs looking shattered and they hadn't started yet, split system into working parts so we could see where all our fire appliances were throughout the 600 sq miles of London.
The rest was paper and chalk with 100+ 999 lines to clear. Parts were not so easy to interface but they sorted in half hour.
There is a lot to be said for having IT 24 hours and they knew the system inside out..
Don't need to DYOR on this one. Weekend chat.

Morning jake & Colour. Notice that I have separated you.
jake I too retired at an early age (53), my studying the runners and riders (stocks) was mainly done at night and it paid off, I come to life when a problem occurs and at 77 still no effort, the adrenaline flows when confronted with an emergency at 3 in the morning, there is nothing to beat it.
Colour, dont worry about DCU's, the system works well enough as it is otherwise why all the repeat orders.
You know India works at a crawl but the orders are waiting. Could be a very good year.
Thailand could be another gate opening wide.
I think it best to let somebody else have a Chat.
DYOR

Well jake I thought you were in Shares not electronics, what was your position. I have stated my position in the past, and shares was my pastime. Have liaised with Marconi on operational requirements and amendments in the past.
Most of CC's gear has shrunk over time as all electronics, my read only meter at home is smaller than a mobile phone as eventually all will probably be no doubt.
CC is obviously trying to create an in-meter Gateway as it was originally the desired of Indian Gov for basic comms to be inmeter. Although probably not necessary, CC appears to be attempting to get the DCU inside also, which they have achieved with Cellular. It's apparent by RNS that the Software is capable just a matter of finding space in that already overcrowded meter case. Just a matter of time as all meters are different shapes and sizes.
DYOR

Well jake I knew your head would pop up, I am not in electronics and only ask CC questions when stuck and mainly relating to SP. I take it neither are you. However Colour says he is an electronics man so should be asking more serious questions like how does it work, from JC or CC.
The existing Canopy System with CC RF embedded (modular) in the 3 major India manufacturers meters and separate DCU's seems to work well with reorders coming in. CC has developed a Gateway (DCU) to work within a meter and it is a matter of accommodation. This I ascertained when asking CC at Colour's request. Like everybody else I noted that CC had got the in-meter capability upon reading the RNS.
Nothing more simple than that, DYOR.

Morning Colour, I think we should leave it there, boring the pants off everybody. You are talking absolute rubbish. The existing DCU's work fine and sales are going ahead at a fast rate see Graph, existing orders are being reordered.
Are you saying that CC Comms box is getting bigger, I certainly did not, you will need proof, dodgy.
All orders seem to be flowing very well and CC got a BONUS offer for early completion of a contract. Speaks VOLUMES.
You should speak to JC if you dare instead of desperately trying to put investors off buying in. You need to seek hate therapy or stay out of the sun where you are.
From my knowledge CC has never had it so good.
DYOR

Well Colour it is good that you acknowledge the existence of the Gateway.
Published in an RNS it must work, so the next hurdle is its accommodation in meter.
Any add on has to be inside the meter as with CC RF modules so it is just a matter
space, most of CC's modules have been reduced in size as we have seen on presentations.
Right, to your stirring, we are talking about DCU's not ANYTHING, CC RF production as we have
seen on graph is doing well. Unless you know otherwise the current DCU's are playing their part
in the Canopy System and in time will be incorporated in meter I presume. Are you saying they will
not. Don't forget your past history of saying CC RF is not wanted in India, LOL.
Do get in touch with JC he will bring you right up to date and do let me know what he says.
I await an interjection from jake as you can't both type at the same time.
DYOR

Exactly Colour.. The module exists, its a matter of will it fit current meters, so its more size not reconfiguration, so it exists currently and I recon will soon be accommodated.
Most of CC's modules have been greatly reduced in size so no doubt they will miniaturise this particular item.
Dont forget to get a few CC's in your pocket I think you have DYOR'd. LOL

Colour, it does exist.. You paid for it. Just say sorry I got that one wrong and did not read the RNS. I think JC also mentioned it one of his interviews saying they would no longer need to be on the top of poles.
It will be interesting to see if JC can fit the graphs on the page and of course if he wants to. I think these numbers will be a guiding light and new investors will be impressed. India is most important to us but if Thailand gets underway with surrounding countries those numbers could quickly double.
Have a chat with JC he may be able to create a dramatic conversion of you before we sail ahead.
Allowing for any of the usual India delays I think we should be getting volume sales pretty soon.
DYOR

Don't rubbish it Colour, only last week you were saying it did not exist. Now that is a fact.
I dare you to ring JC and accuse him of telling lies.
Then roll over and let him tickle your tummy, LOL.
Keep up with what is going on.
I asked him to consider putting Heather's India Deliveries graph on home page of CC site.
May be updated bi-monthly to let all know CC's India progress.
Very important for new viewers.
Everybody DYOR and lets wait and see what next couple of months produce.

Well it might be your last response but it is a useless one, you have exactly the same characteristics of Colour when you are not getting your way. You come away from the subject and just rant.
Hi Colour, JC responded directly to me so I know it is all correct and I read the RNS correctly.
There is one way to verify my account of the matter and that is to contact him yourself, he would be pleased to hear from you again. Or are you too cowardly after all your ranting about him over the years.
This is giving newbies a poor impression of a company that is, in my opinion, about to take off, you would not want them to miss out. As long as they DYOR they should be fine.

Hello jake.. defending yourself too strongly. Even the reference to filtering has shades of Colour.
More like a split personality, LOL.
I am not aware of any mistakes, only you trying to highlight something that does not exist. If you swing back a few years you will see my references to not having a factory to run. So CC has never had factory costs, simple.
Do read again my reply to Rkk1's question, he only asked a simple question and got a simple answer.
Colour, I did ask CC about DCU, JC is not rolling on the floor. The module exists as is referred to in RNS, it is a matter of meter manufacturers wanting to adopt it probably when they next upgrade meters. Obviously they then have the choice of either system, weighing convenience and costs.

DYOR

Hello jake/Colour.. You are very similar in character enough to query are the in fact the same person.
I will sign of on this and say, neither of you responded to content of last BB just started to denigrate.
Says neither of you have a clue about AIM. Colour NO RESPONSE on DCU, tipical just waffle away when stuck.
jake you just wanted to stir it with Colour, you should stick to FTSE100 if you can afford it.
DYOR

Hello jake.. I have just said to Colour don't my or his time. Yet there you go again.
Right final response, see Rkk1 Wed 22:46. asking about hardware. My reply ' With CC coming away from hardware slowly the profit margins should go to the upper level'. My reasoning was when CC was supplying hardware, not making, and software then much higher margins were achieved with software'. That is it. That was the question and that was the answer, once again Colour spun it in all directions to waste time.
Colour, see my 29/11/20 11:19 re meter containing DCU. Why did not you raise the matter then.
I would now refer you to RNS 4/9/20. FINAL RESULTS,
Line ' Launch of new Omnimesh Cellular products including Dual SIM Cellular Network Interface Card and in Meter Gateway for improved security and increased capacity'.
DYOR

Well Colour, at last you have got it. You need to read before making your comment. There is a much smaller make mark from hardware so the emphasis went to software (85%). You have just waisted yours and mine time for the last 5 days to get exactly to the same position. Stop pussy footing around pedantic obs which go nowhere.
Just sit back in anticipation of good news and rise in SP.
DYOR
