I am seriously starting to think people on here might be wearing rose tint glasses. Until cyan can step up to the plate and show me the money I am not buying anything they put on any PowerPoint or any BRR production.

Rose tinted glasses people. Where is the money? Anyone?

Midweek M2M: IoT and machine-to-machine developments
1 Feb 2017

BelarusBelarusBrazilBrazilChinaChinaFranceFranceIndiaIndiaIrelandIrelandIsraelIsraelNetherlandsNetherlandsQatarQatarSpainSpainInternationalInternational

Vodafone Spain has launched the country’s first commercial NB-IoT network. To date, companies in the cities of Valencia and Madrid can connect devices using NB-IoT, whilst businesses in Barcelona, Bilbao, Malaga and Seville will gain access to the network in the coming weeks as part of Vodafone’s national deployment, with NB-IoT being used to connect different product categories such as gas and water meters, intelligent containers, fire alarms, parking meters and other sensors. Vodafone Spain expects more than 1,000 mobile sites to support NB-IoT by the end of March. Each NB-IoT site can support more than 100,000 devices. Vodafone completed its first NB-IoT trial with Huawei in Madrid in September 2016, using a 4G 800MHz base station.

Slightly ahead of the game, T-Mobile Netherlands has disclosed that it is planning to expand the coverage of its existing commercial NB-IoT network to Arnhem, Best, Delft, Den Bosch, Enschede and Groningen, augmenting the current footprint encompassing Amsterdam (including Schiphol airport and surrounds), Eindhoven, Rotterdam and The Hague. T-Mobile Netherlands launched Europe’s first commercial NB-IoT end-to-end system in October 2016 using 900MHz spectrum.

In Belarus, meanwhile, velcom says it is ready to be the first cellco in the country to deploy NB-IoT, beginning this year, saying that the new technology will provide benefits such as improving urban infrastructure management efficiency and allowing users to remotely control household devices. velcom has earmarked 200kHz NB-IoT bandwidth within its current GSM range. The operator’s statement added: ‘Existing M2M solutions are not well suited for a large number of smart devices, while the new technology would make it possible to effectively use hundreds of thousands of IoT devices with low-cost sensors.’

On a larger scale, China Mobile and Ericsson recently signed a strategic agreement to cooperate on IoT as part of China Mobile’s ‘Big Connectivity’ strategy. The Ericsson Device Connection Platform will be used to manage IoT connections and provide a ‘unified and consistent’ service for global customers, while China Mobile said recently that it expects to serve 200 million connected devices in 2017. In a more immediate consequence of the pair’s collaboration, Ericsson and China Mobile’s Shanghai division partnered Mobike – the popular bike-sharing service – to trial cellular IoT technologies on the cellco’s live network to allow Mobike’s IoT-enabled bikes to be located more accurately. Zhongjie Yang of Mobike commented: ‘CAT-M1 and NB-IoT will greatly enhance user experience in the future.’

With similar ambitions in the Middle East, Israeli mobile operator Cellcom has established an NB-IoT laboratory with Nokia, where IoT applications will be tested before commercial rollout, the Globes newspaper reported.

Taiwan’s Asia Pacific Telecom has become the latest cellco to launch the Cisco Jasper IoT connectivity management platform ‘Control Center’. Meanwhile, Cisco’s acquisition drive continues with the recently announced USD3.7 billion purchase of AppDynamics, which focuses on areas which Cisco regards as vital in the IoT world: application performance monitoring, end user monitoring and infrastructure visibility.

On the LoRa side of the fence, French operator Bouygues Telecom’s IoT division, Objenious, has expanded its LoRa footprint to 93% of the French population and 84% of national territory, reaching over 30,000 municipalities. Objenious has recently signed an international roaming agreement with German IoT specialist Digimondo (owned by E.ON) adding to a similar partnership with US-based IoT platform Senet, with plans to expand roaming to various other countries including the UK. Objenious currently manages tens of thousands of connected objects for over 40 clients.

Italy’s RaiWay, the tower infrastructure operating unit of state-backed broadcaster Rai, has joined the LoRa Alliance, which was established in 2015 to define and promote secure, carrier grade standards for low power, wide area IoT connectivity. RaiWay is particularly focusing its IoT efforts on Smart City services.

India’s Tata Communications – which currently operates a LoRa IoT network covering Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Jamshedpur – is planning to expand coverage to ‘60 cities’ by the end of 2017, and ‘the rest of the country’ in 2019, the Economic Times reported. Tata Communications has meanwhile purchased a 35% stake in Netherlands-based MVNE/IoT services provider Teleena, giving it a seat on the supervisory board; Tata’s wholesale services will support Teleena products/services, an example being a secure SIM used by Dutch airline KLM in over 5,000 tablet devices.

Also looking globally, Orange Business Services has won a three-year contract with Italian telematics service provider Viasat Group to support global IoT roaming services for up to 350,000 SIM cards. Viasat, specialising in sectors including insurance and fleet management, will combine its satellite tracking services with Orange’s IoT connectivity across its international footprint.

Straddling the aforementioned NB-IoT/LoRa ‘fence’, Nokia is launching an updated version of its IoT platform IMPACT (‘Intelligent Management Platform for All Connected Things’) – supporting both NB-IoT and LoRa – aiming to provide ‘industry-leading device management, security and analytics capabilities’ alongside a ‘unique’ single, horizontal platform allowing customers to manage and analyse data across multiple IoT applications.

In the automotive sphere, another Scandinavian big-hitter, Norway’s Telenor Group, is testing Telenor Connect, a new IoT car monitoring app for use by drivers, whilst the company has also established a ‘Nordic Car Connect Forum’ with key partners. Also on the roads, but in sunnier climes, Vodafone Qatar and Qatar Mobility Innovations Centre (QMIC) have jointly launched their Fleet Management service, a telematics service enabling vehicle tracking and logistics management, utilising Vodafone’s global IoT platform. In a similar vein, Telefonica Mexico signed a multi-year agreement to roll out telematics across the Hertz Mexico vehicle fleet (the largest car rental fleet in Mexico).

In terms of M2M/IoT usage statistics around the world, US telecoms giant AT&T has reported that the total number of ‘connected devices’ on the AT&T Mobility network surged to 31.591 million at the end of 2016, up from 26.213 million in December 2015 and 21.965 million at end-2014. Rival operator Verizon Communications, meanwhile, noted that its IoT revenues, led by telematics, increased 21% in 2016, reaching USD243 million, and it expects to sustain this strong trend.

Heading South to Brazil, regulator Anatel reported that the country reached 12.093 million M2M accounts at 30 September 2016, broken down as 7.266 million ‘Standard̵7; connections, and 4.827 million ‘Special’; connections. As per Anatel’s definitions, Special M2M devices operate without human intervention, and primarily transmit data for remote monitoring purposes, while Standard M2M devices are for personal use. Telefonica Brasil (Vivo) was believed to be the M2M market leader at the end of 3Q16, with 4.770 million accounts.

Over in Europe, Irish regulatory counterpart ComReg recorded that Ireland’s M2M subscription base reached 647,894 at 30 September 2016, up 6.8% from 606,683 on a quarterly basis. In 3Q16 Three Ireland had the largest M2M market share at 48.0%, followed by Vodafone Ireland with 46.9%. The watchdog noted that M2M communication is set to grow rapidly, driven by expansion of advanced telecoms networks and declining costs of embedded wireless modules and sensors.

cyan would do very well....... in the outback of australia.....lol

[lwaxf13] 04/4/2017 15:24

Omg I feel like I am being stalked by a voter downer. I think I have actually touched on a legitimate point here. Where exactly is the UK opportunity for Cyan? I am now not sure anything much will materialise from the UK. Did cyan investors buy Connode in order to get into the UK market?

[lwaxf13] 04/4/2017 14:57

Lol I ask a reasonable question and get a vote down. Way to go whoever voted me down!!! I guess my question could raise legitimate concerns about who the hell except for new builds is going to bother getting a smart meter fitted? If existing consumers cannot be assed to get one then where is the huge smart meter opportunity for cyan with their mesh technology or whatever it is they are selling these days? I have no intention of getting a smart meter unless it is forced upon by legislation.

[lwaxf13] 04/4/2017 11:20

SSE email today that Smart Meters are here and phone to book an appointment to get one. They cite the usual very questionable benefit of being able to better manage electricity usage if you have a smart meter. I don't buy that line. I don't need a smart meter to help me manage my electricity consumption. In my house we use what we use. Why on earth would anyone get a smart meter? Other than not having to submit my meter reading every three months online what other benefit is there for consumers? Anyone?

[runthejoules] 04/4/2017 07:39

Ok, I'm in for a small amount with the ARM appointment. I'm no expert but I think the possibilities for narrowband/mesh are immense. But kicking the tyres. However, we all need to be thinking about the threats: how powerful is 5G? What generation will be able to go through walls? Will new technology in Developing markets be able to leapfrog what Cyanconnode has? Who are potential buyers (probably not Apple & Amazon who seem evidently set on working on their own home-interconnectivity solutions)?

Feedback from CYAN EGM today...courtesy of Longterminvestor on another thread...


Good evening all.

A very productive day today, I feel, which started off with the announcement of the new, Non-Executive Director, namely Pete Hutton, who as we have been informed, used to work for ARM Holdings.

A very astute appointment, as we all believe.

Having had a general conversation with Pete Hutton, he seems as though he has " ....... hit the ground running ..... " to coin a phrase and knows what he wants to do, what is expected of him and what he wants to achieve.

He has vast global experience, especially in China and the Far East. And his experience with ARM Holdings, in these regions, will without doubt be beneficial to the Company and eventually to share-holders, in general.

As is anticipated, there was the usual display of meters, for all to view.

There were meters from Itron, EDMI and Landis&Gyr, which as partners of CyanConnode, you would maybe expect. There was also a smaller Intel box on display, plus some equipment from the UK smart meter program, which Geoff Sarney kindly talked to me about.

But interestingly, there was also something else, which grabbed my interest.

Not a meter. But what I can only describe as a " ........ circuit board ......... " labelled up for Kamstrup.

As both Companies are now in Iran and Kamstrup has a foothold in the Nordic countries, as well as globally, it will be interesting to see how/if this develops. As most of us hope it will.

It was good to see Genus and Ericsson, as Chianti has already mentioned, on the CyanConnode Partners page.

Genus was " ..... talked about ...... " as being a partner of Cyan ( as it was then ) some years ago. But when the Indian smart meter projects, got underway, they partnered with a Canadian company called Corinex, a PowerLine Communications company and it seemed as though they had found another avenue to pursue.

But it is good to welcome them back.

As well as exporting products to the UK, USA, Korea,Singapore, Germany, Brazil and Ireland, Genus also have connections to Tata Power and also Reliance Energy.

hxxp://profit.ndtv.com/stock/genus-power-infrastructure-ltd_genuspower/reports

So maybe the project in Mumbai, through Tata Power and the hoped for development in Delhi, also through Tata Power, may hopefully take on a different perspective, eventually.

But with the addition of Genus, to the Partner List, it makes the Indian market in general, that little bit more interesting.

Not to mention additional global opportunities.

No additional news on Ericsson. But it is good news, that they are partners with CyanConnode.

John Cronin did mention that he was off to India tomorrow, but did not elaborate too much during the presentation, on the trip.

I had a general conversation with the Board Members, that were there, but generally, a good meeting.

It was good to see dwall there, although we did not have time to chat, as we were both busy getting what news was available.

The Latin root of erudition is the verb erudire which means "to teach or train." By showing erudition, you show that you've learned a lot. If you write with erudition, your readers will know that you are a serious scholar, as long as you're not too far over their heads.

thankyou bellend for your compliments, i shall now serve you with a prohibitation notice.

[emptyend] 03/4/2017 12:11

....always comforting to see criticism of such evident erudition....

[multibagger] 03/4/2017 10:47

I fully agree emptyend...CYAN has moved up several gears over the last 18 months or so, in terms of their approach to strategy, funding, partnerships (strategic, commercial and technical, partnership eco-system), acquisitions, marketing and also successfully bidding for contracts across a range of developed and developing markets and geographies. Directors have demonstrated faith and confidence in taking salaries in the form of equity instead of cash...they have a lot of skin in the game.

CYAN have also been training host country partner workforces in implementation/deployment and also working with host country hardware manufacturers, so that the political and frontline issues can be dealt with more effectively - these can be more tricky, particularly in developing markets.

The appointment of Pete Hutton today validates the plan to migrate from a low margin hardware model, to a recurrent high margin software model with scalability and recurrent licensing revenues. As I see it in preparation for a takeover in the next few years.

The jigsaw pieces have been and are continuing to be carefully assembled and not long before we get serious share price traction.

For those undecided or waiting on the side lines, this is as much as a green light that the market can signal !!

Good luck all :)

[lwaxf13] 03/4/2017 10:41

IMO they need to deliver share holder value. They talk a good story but deliver jack. Maybe if some of them are not up to the job they should step aside and bring in talent that is up to the job.

[emptyend] 03/4/2017 10:39

It isn't the confidence of the retail punters that matters at this point - it is the demonstrable monetisation of the technology and the confidence that gives to institutions and industry players.IMO they will be taken out within two years. The next couple of orders could be quite pivotal in getting more institutions involved - whilst they still can.

[runthejoules] 03/4/2017 10:09

They need to start telling us how much each contract is worth in each RNS and update - being vague does not help our confidence or to keep the share price price rises sticky.

[emptyend] 03/4/2017 09:49

One of the "existing skills" is to develop the company. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to argue that the board, strategy and quality of the technical offer haven't all improved vastly over the last 2 years or so...........the proof of the pudding will be in the eating: as they start converting the order book into firm orders over the next 18 months or so, the company's prospects will be transformed.

[lwaxf13] 03/4/2017 08:35

I like this bit "will provide additional complimentary skills ...". You have to laugh at that. The existing skills have so far driven this share into the ground. Anyway, today's news is very positive to have a big hitter on board at last.

[runthejoules] 03/4/2017 08:21

Should have bought in at the start when it was just 0.03% on this news, now it's up 2.86%, but still got them for 0.182, not bad. Now they just need sales and lots of them.
