IT is a private placement - and already done and dusted. Not for the likes of us.

[activeservo] 16/3/2016 09:41

Given "institutional shareholders" was mentioned I suspect it's a private placement.

[ali47fish] 16/3/2016 08:20

is this placing open to PI's

[activeservo] 16/3/2016 08:06

More positive news this morning. It seems Mr Braund is hitting the ground running with this one. Always good when a penny stock gains a CEO with successful turnaround experience.

[mortimer7] 15/3/2016 14:45

Noon - seems a strange time to release such a positive update, I'd have expected 7am to reach as many people as possible with this good news.

[philjeans] 15/3/2016 13:31

Nice positive update and back in profit!

Looking very good for current year; chart wants to push way beyond 2p and will steadily climb to 4p by year end.

Keep the faith - big profits here yet to come.

Redstone and Vanti demonstrate first fully integrated intelligent building solution at EcoBuild, 8-10 March, Excel London

Smart building systems provide architects, builders and facilities managers with a ‘demonstrable’ working solution to help spaces perform more effectively

Visitors to the EcoBuild show will be amongst the first in the UK to view a fully integrated, ‘working’; smart building solution from leading suppliers Redstone and Vanti. Located on stand E6217 within the Smart feature area, the two companies will bring together their specialist services in order to make the most out of the physical space, increasing energy efficiency and sustainability while simultaneously improving the working environment for the wellbeing of its occupants.

The integrated solution is already used by 550 employees and management at United Business Media (UBM) Group’s central London HQ at the iconic 240 Blackfriars Road location. The technology has helped UBM to improve workspace efficiency by 25%, resulting in a capital saving of approximately £3m and operational savings of over £1m per annum.

Visitors to EcoBuild will be able to walk through and physically interact with Redstone’s and Vanti’s shared smart building space to obtain first hand experience of how the solutions work. This collaborative approach, which also features examples of technology from interactive technology provider SMART and control systems provider AMX, will provide visitors with a true understanding of how smart technology can be incorporated into spaces where people work, learn and live.

Brendan Loughrey, managing director at Redstone comments, “ Working in collaboration with partners such as Vanti has enabled us to provide customers with a truly integrated and manageable smart building solution, we are able to design, implement and manage the technology needed to deliver intelligence for both new and existing builds. With connected devices on the increase there’s no doubt that smart and intelligent buildings will prove to be the future of all shared spaces.”

Mike Brooman from Vanti, adds, “Partnering with Redstone makes absolute sense for us. We have a complimentary offering that is already making a demonstrable difference for our clients. Our specialist integration know-how and experience creating digital experiences that not only deliver the initial wow-factor but also help people become more productive, communicative and collaborative are a perfect complement to Redstone’s existing service portfolio.”

The Smart Technology showcase will also include Redstone’s OneSpace – an intelligent desk and meeting room booking system - Vanti’s audio-visual and multimedia solutions including video conferencing systems, control systems and touch panels. Euroworkspace will be showcasing their intelligent lockers as well as collaborative and flexible furniture. Additionally dashboard views of building data will demonstrate how the combined solutions can be managed and optimised on an on-going basis. Visitors will be able to see expert demonstrations of the integrated technology and how it can transform a space.

Mike Brooman, CEO at Vanti will also be presenting a session entitled “The future is now. Smart Buildings are here today” which features a live example of the UK’s most recent award winning Smart Building, at 4pm on Tuesday 8th March and again at 3pm on Thursday 10th March.

[activeservo] 03/3/2016 13:55

I agree. Looks like we're all in at the right time. Looking at the fundamentals, I think this next attempt at rebuilding the company should be successful.

[scottishfield] 03/3/2016 13:31

V good step up this morning. Making the chart look v good, if we can hold the rise imo.

[jasonoranged] 02/3/2016 12:14

From Smart Buildings magazine.

Redstone has won a £0.75 million contract to design and install an in-building cellular system serving nearly one million square feet of office space in the city of London. The contract is for one of Redstone's existing clients’ UK Headquarters and will see it design and install technology from global wireless technology provider CommScope.



In-building cellular systems allow building occupants to use their mobile phones and mobile-connected devices where signal would otherwise be an issue, and are therefore valuable to organisations where a connected workforce is important.

Mark Braund, CEO of Redstone (and Coms plc), commented: "In-building mobile coverage is important as mobility and BYOD (bring your own device) becomes the expected norm in today's smart working environments. Steel, concrete and infrastructure limits signal strength, often to zero, creating strong demand for increasingly sophisticated solutions to overcome this. In-building cellular systems are the answer.”

Redstone is the first smart building technology integrator to win an in-building cellular contract of this scale in the UK; and it represents an example of one of its new offerings in smart building technology.

The deal is the first sale of CommScope’s ION-E technology in the UK. ION-E provides a number of advantages over other systems including its ability to make use of existing infrastructure and digital technology within a building, thereby reducing costs and simplifying installation.

Mark Braund continues: “By investing in skills and talent in late-2015, Redstone has quickly become first to market in the enterprise-scale smart building space with these solutions. We expect this market to grow rapidly in importance, providing Redstone with increased demand and helping us further extend our leadership position in providing smart building solutions."

Jasonoranged
It is clear from your endless posts that you are bullish about COMS. However, once you have made your point please desist from endless, meaningless and largely unsubstantiated posts/suggestions as to what level the price might go to.
Otherwise you might be thought to be ramping it.

[jasonoranged] 02/3/2016 11:12

Should hear something shortly on the rebrand, speculation on the other forum that sale of COMS.COM domain could fetch 7 figures which I guess if sold in the states is feasible as it is detached from recent COMS history.

Share price looks set to move, looking at a run to 2.5 p pre news now, could even start to move in earnest today imo.

[jasonoranged] 01/3/2016 09:18

Attack at 2 p today perhaps, can see this flying up to 2.5 p and then settling pre news.

[jasonoranged] 29/2/2016 16:32

It is itching to go on a run.

2.5 p in short order here.

[scottishfield] 29/2/2016 16:30

yes, solid finish today

[tromso1] 29/2/2016 16:28

Quite a bit of buying after 4pm. Interesting.

Mark Braund just retweeted this.

With digitisation entering various walks of life, an increasing number of devices and appliances are becoming ‘smart’ and digitally connected. Consequently, the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a ground reality in different domains. In large measure, however, industrial IoT is now leading the way in creating new benchmarks in connectivity. To clarify for lay readers, the industrial Internet refers to the universe of intelligent industrial products, processes and services that communicate with each other and humans over the Internet.

Three major drivers in the IoT revolution are urbanisation, digitisation and industrialisation. With 2.5 billion people expected to be living in cities by 2050, urbanisation stokes increasing desire among citizens craving comforts and conveniences at their fingertips. With 50 billion connected things expected by 2020, digitisation is driven by efforts to ensure faster, more efficient devices, processes and systems in all industries. And with energy consumption expected to rise almost 50% globally and 3-4 times in India by 2050, industries need to adopt sustainable practices based on green technologies and energy-efficient systems.

Given this scenario, our shared resources will come under unprecedented pressure within the next four decades, even as global warming and climate change accelerate. To avert this precipitous situation, carbon emissions need to be halved and industrial processes need to become thrice as efficient. Here is where industrial IoT can play a pivotal role in making products, processes and services more energy efficient. Higher energy efficiency is achieved through sensors that enable meaningful visualisation and actionable analysis using Big Data and analytics. Finally, this information is communicated through various networks for effective actions to be taken either manually or automatically.

As our lives become increasingly bifurcated between the real and virtual world, the importance of the Internet grows exponentially. Although multiple overt benefits exist via global digitisation, there are covert costs too. For instance, higher digitisation calls for more data centres and communications towers. Paradoxically, these are very energy intensive; however, there are abundant IoT-enabled energy efficiency opportunities here too. It is therefore imperative to mitigate any collateral damage by driving energy efficiency in all products, processes and services across the value chain.

This is why worldwide, industrial IoT assumes critical importance. In today’s digital era, powerful miniaturised embedded sensors are the universal connectors between the physical and digital world. Through such sensors, ubiquitous connectivity extends to physical products, infrastructure and other things. Storage of the resultant gargantuan data led to the creation of the cloud, which facilitates inexpensive and abundant storage, enabling aggregation of data streams from myriad sources.

It’s through industrial IoT that energy management and efficiency is ensured in a raft of sectors: from building and construction to transportation, healthcare, manufacturing and industrial processes.

Nevertheless, such savings come with upfront costs of installing such systems. Presently, many companies and industries may be unprepared or unwilling to invest in industrial IoT that, though beneficial after installation, may nonetheless disrupt traditional operations.

Benefits of sustainability

Significantly, companies using industrial IoT will hold a tremendous advantage over laggards. Optimised asset availability and performance resulting in shorter delivery times for industrial IoT users will in turn facilitate faster cost recoveries, better returns and higher profits. In hyper-competitive times, industrial IoT non-users will then hurtle faster towards closure due to unsustainable operations. Therefore, though moving towards industrial IoT may come with short-term costs, not doing so is not really an option. Clearly, within years, companies will have a Hobsons choice of adopting or ignoring industrial IoT at their own peril.

In itself, industrial IoT has led to the emergence of smart systems via the creation of system-on-chip technologies, enabling the ‘things’ in the Internet of Things—manifested through smart energy, smart water, smart buildings, smart mobility, smart public services and smart integration.

Undoubtedly, with industrial IoT and smart systems, similar benefits will be available to other industries.

Additionally, smart systems promote proactive risk mitigation, preventing or minimising costly downtimes and boosting service speed and quality, among other advantages. And all of the above is achieved while—and indeed enabled by—running operations sustainably. For industry and the world at large, the choice could never have been more clear-cut.
