Transense Technologies plc (the 'Company' or 'Transense')

Transense is pleased to announce the formation of a new trading division, IntelliSAW. The new business has been established to develop and market SAW ('Surface Acoustic Wave') based wireless sensor systems for Smart-Grid applications.

Smart-Grid is the broad term used to describe technologies that provide intelligent control and monitoring of the electrical power grid. IntelliSAW leverages existing Transense IP and R&D investment and uses the Company's patented SAW interrogation electronics to provide a state-of-the art wireless temperature monitoring system, initially targeted at the Electrical Switchgear market. Having accurate, continuous, real-time temperature data instantaneously available at key points in the power transmission network provides power companies with early warning of potential problems. Failures within the network can have catastrophic consequences, causing significant damage, power outages and potentially fatal accidents.

Currently available switchgear monitoring solutions, whether wired, infrared or RF based, all have inherent drawbacks such as the potential for arcing or flashover, lack of continuous monitoring or the requirement for batteries or other direct power sources in an inherently unsuitable environment. The IntelliSAW system addresses all these drawbacks and offers a uniquely versatile, scalable and low maintenance solution that is easier to install and commission. The currently estimated annual global spend on power transmission and distribution projects is $20 billion, and anticipated to rise to $30 billion by 2015.*

The Board believes that the market opportunity for IntelliSAW is significant, and in line with the Company's revised strategy of seeking out new routes to market for its wireless & battery-less sensing technology to generate additional near-term income, IntelliSAW will provide another complementary revenue stream. IntelliSAW has already received conditional orders in excess of US$300,000 and has agreed in principle to a distributorship arrangement which would lead to further orders in excess of US$700,000. In order for Transense to sell IntelliSAW products directly and increase its potential revenues significantly over and above those available as royalties, Transense has varied its licensing arrangements with Vectron.

As a key aspect of the IntelliSAW business the Company has been able to engage several experts in the SAW sensing field who were previously employed by Vectron, as members of the IntelliSAW team. These individuals bring strong application expertise specific to industrial markets such as Smart-Grid which will greatly assist the scalability of this business.
