CyanConnode has been active in India since 2009 and executed its first project in the year 2014. CyanConnode has deployed its RF communication infrastructure for Smart Meters in 9 states (Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Assam) in the country and has a current orderbook of 1.6 Million RF nodes.
John Cronin, Executive Chairman of CyanConnode, commented:
“We are proud to announce that over 1 million smart meters in India are communicating on CyanConnode’s RF network, which is approximately 22% of the total installed base of Smart meters in India. We take great pride in and responsibility for consistently high Service Level Agreements (SLAs) of >99%, which are now a base requirement for Smart Prepaid metering and which the Government of India has been pushing for. CyanConnode also has a solution for every requirement such as long range RF for remote locations, a hybrid of RF and Cellular and our core RF solution through our unique Omnimesh technology.”
Indore’s smart metering project, which is running on CyanConnode’s Omnimesh RF communication network, became a case study that was later adopted by many other DISCOMs across the country. The project was a triumph for the Indore DISCOM who achieved a return on investment in only two and a half years. In addition, CyanConnode has been deploying its Omnimesh RF communication network in terrains of Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. It has achieved a range of 4.2 KMs through regular RF nodes in Shimla, reemphasizing that its Omnimesh architecture is the best solution for Smart Metering in India with best possible coverage of dense, hilly, agricultural & semi-urban areas while delivering the desired SLAs.
