Absolutely! - but not an RNS I am looking for this side of Xmas!

Couple of early morning decent buys 250k and 149k and about £20k in total. Annual ISA purchase ?? If it is, then a sign of confidence ! Here's hoping :)

Would you count a placing RNS as a game changer?

[multibagger] 20/9/2019 06:47

Good morning tightfist and all :) Let's hope the share price rise earlier this week on small volumes, indicates a cautious return to the market by some and the first signs of a subtle shift in market sentiment. A RNS or two/more would be most welcome !

Very sensible, it would require a massive climb-down to introduce CC in the north - lots of egg on Arqiva face!Fingers crossed that we get at least one game-changing RNS in the next six weeks....... but definitely not holding my breath!

[tightfist] 19/9/2019 21:58

That makes sense - after all, the idea is that you no longer need to look at the actual meter! But the in-house usage display - that's a different story.

Just to be clear, there was no mention of NPower that I could see on the SKU2(? I think) meter itself but it came with NPower leaflets and an NPower-branded consumer display.

You've had the pump.....

Hi MB,Thanks for that link, particularly useful to see again through the link the artwork summary (line 8) of the different SKU's. emptyend mentions NPower; I suppose different utilities may be overlaying (externally laser printing?) their branding on the surface of the generic range of Toshiba boxes?I have been away on holiday so may have missed something...... I noted some speculation here a couple of weeks ago that Arqiva were experiencing ongoing challenges in rolling-out their technology in the north? Is this hard-wired anywhere to the very recent formal government acknowledgement that SMETS2 completion will be late and more costly? And, more importantly, in your opinion is it linked somehow to the recent mini-surge in the CC sp! On the face of it the extended discounting of onset of maintenance income would suppress the share price Instead, are CC getting positioned to pick-up some juicy crumbs??Cheers, tightfist

Hi emptyend....tightfist is right that there are variants The datasheets for the CPA approved Toshiba CHUBs (SKU2 and SKU3 variants) are also listed on the DCC website Https://www.smartdcc.co.uk/document-centre/communications-hubs/communications-hub-product-information/ A close collaborative partnership between CyanConnode, Telefónica and Toshiba resulted in a solution for second generation smart meters (SMETS2) to overcome network challenges to ensure that a smart meter remains ‘smart.’ Telefónica, (appointed as the preferred SMIP communications service provider for two-thirds of the UK), promoted CyanConnode’s Radio Frequency (RF) Machine-To-Machine (M2M) technology to extend the reach of its existing mobile (cellular) network, into locations where the cellular signal was not available (‘not-spots’). Embedding CyanConnode’s technology into the Toshiba SMETS2 Telefónica Communications Hub has enabled smart meters to be in ‘not-spots’ [CyanConnode’s] RF mesh capability provides standards-based, critical infrastructure grade security that comprises: Public Key Infrastructure certificates and certificate management Key storage in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) State of the art cryptography ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business data functions The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has defined a set of security requirements that are assessed under the standard Consumer Product Assurance (CPA) scheme. [CyanConnode’s] RF mesh technology has been tested as part of the CPA process for Toshiba’s Communication Hub by an accredited test laboratory. The CPA approval for the Toshiba product is listed on the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) website Https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/products-services/all-products-services-categories?productType=Smart%20metering NCSC is the UK’s independent authority on cyber security.

...mmmm....interesting. I suspect if there are different versions then they are supplied to different installers. The box I saw was an NPower version. No easy way of telling what the full spec was.

[tightfist] 18/9/2019 16:27

Hiya,I understood from somewhere (maybe from the London springtime meeting?) that there are actually three models of Toshiba SMETS2 Smart meter, not all of which have the "top hat" on top? (which contains the CyanConnode mesh networking module).Worth checking out to see if we can a better understanding of the context of multiple comments. If correct, do do they have all three on the shelf in the installation van? I am on Economy7 tariff so I understand there is no Smart Meter available, and I don't wish to opt-out of the E7 tariff.Good luck, tightfist

....I discover NPower now owned by German company E.On......so much for German efficiency! ....

Updated flag counter as I had set visits from countries too low - now reset to collect flags from 150 countries. Most would call me wildly optimistic I presume ! Sorry for losing the old flag counter info - in case anyone was keeping track ? We had got upto 9451 visitors or thereabouts from 24 countries.

A hat trick of "Blue" days and hope I have not jinxed it :) Even if a bit of my ARC luck rubs off...CYAN will be rocketing !

[lwaxf13] 16/9/2019 12:52

Is something fishy going on? This share is up the past 3 trading days which is very out of character for this world leading company. A big plus from this is it is now only down about 93% since JC arrived. A great performance.

KAV v.interesting RNS @ KAV this morning including a potential JV with a MAJOR

Good morning Bscuit (and all)! Longer suffering than I - my commiserations ! But the tide is about to turn I hope, given all the false dawns we have had :)

[bscuit] 13/9/2019 21:56

Multi, LOL.I have been here since before listing, indeed I played a major role in the listing as NED of an investment company that was the only initial insti and originally.wasn't going to convert warrants till I persuaded them to do so. I still have lots, but offloaded some at higher levels.

[multibagger] 13/9/2019 21:39

Welcome onboard bscuit - yes I agree that it is a welcome 30% share price improvement, but a lot, lot more needed for LTHs. I remain confident though :)
