FlexNet – Long Range Radio •  FlexNet –  Radio network enabling smart energy & resource management

•  One network: –  Smart Metering

•  Electric •  Gas •  Water

–  Smart Grid

–  Smart CiSes

–  Demand Management

11

•  250MHz to 1,000MHz spectrum provide excellent balance between coverage, capacity and building penetration; making high meter connectivity economically viable

• Rapid roll-out of coverage

FlexNet Range •  FlexNet provides excepRonal coverage to all end-‐points in all areas:

–  End point locaSons: indoors, outdoors, water pits

–  Environment: dense urban, urban, suburban, rural

•  FlexNet uses advanced modulaRon, dedicated spectrum

•  Typical coverage areas:

–  Urbanised areas circa 2Km up to 5Km range

–  Rural areas circa 10Km up to 20Km range

FlexNet (2–5 Km)

Mesh / Low Power Radio (< 500m)

Cellular (1-‐2 Km)

Macro Diversity

Base StaRon A

•  All Base StaRons are always listening for all end points

•  Networks are designed with overlapping cell edge coverage

•  Redundancy and resiliency from day one

–  No need to wait for surrounding end-‐points to be installed as required for mesh based soluSons

OperaSonal Benefits

AddiSonal Benefits

Regulatory Benefits

Reduced cost of dealing with customer contact, due to detailed and regular informaSon and ability to answer enquiries quickly. Reduced energy and treatment costs from decreased water demand from households and reduced leakage

Reduced network and customer supply pipe leakage management costs

Increased revenue from more efficient idenSficaSon of faulty meters Demand forecasSng and security of supply resilience, short and long term Deferred capital investment in new water supply infrastructure as a result of water demand reducSon Avoided costs and revenue opportuniSes from more effecSve reputaSon management with customers and regulator Revenue from providing a non-‐core services such as a monitoring service for social care in the home, or reduce household insurance costs. Reduced liabiliSes to regulator for fines, and potenSal substanSal legal liabiliSes from backflow incidents Reduced carbon from reduced hot water heaSng in the home and reduced travelling for meter reading
