New Order for Smart Metering Project in South India

CyanConnode Holdings plc (AIM: CYAN), a world leader in Narrowband Radio Frequency (RF) Smart Mesh Networks, is pleased to announce that it has received the formal purchase order relating to the Letter of Intent (LOI) received from partner Genus Power Infrastructures Limited ("Genus"), as announced on 16 December 2019. The purchase order, worth £3.3 million, includes a full set of terms and conditions under which the project will be implemented.

Under the purchase order, CyanConnode will supply Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) standards-based hardware, services, and head-end software, which includes a perpetual license and an annual maintenance contract. The Company's Omnimesh technology will provide a network canopy, enabling a hybrid RF smart mesh and cellular communication platform that is scalable to 200,000 smart meters.

The installation of the project is expected to be completed within the next fifteen months, with approximately 80% of revenue being recognised during the first two years and the balance of approximately 20% being received during a further 7-year support and maintenance contract that commences upon project completion and 'Go Live' phase.

The first project planning meeting to discuss the roll out and installation of the meters will take place during January 2020.

Preserving and managing CyanConnode's cash remains a key focus as the Company moves towards break-even, with a number of short to medium term funding options being considered to help strengthen this position. For example, a Letter of Credit (LoC) is being provided by Genus for this project, which will mitigate CyanConnode's financial exposure relating to the manufacture of up to 200,000 communications modules. The LoC will also facilitate advanced payment for those modules, as and when they are delivered to Genus.
