1 WELCOME SENSORS & COMMUNICATIONS FOR SMART WATER NETWORKS Andy Newland Regional Sales Director Asia Pacific

2 A LITTLE ABOUT SENSUS Sensus is a leading global utility infrastructure company whose technology helps energy and water utilities drive operational efficiency and customer engagement with applications that include advanced meter reading, data acquisition, demand response, distribution automation, home area networking and outdoor lighting control. Customers worldwide trust the innovation, quality and reliability of Sensus solutions for the intelligent use and conservation of energy and water.

3 EXPERIENCE THROUGH INNOVATION Composite materials World leader in supply of composite meters >5,000,000 in network MeiStream Plus World s first Class C Woltmann meter >300,000 in network iperl World leader in static meters >1,000,000 in network in US ISO/MID version launched

4 SOME FACTS QUANTIFY THE CHALLENGE 8.5 billion gallons of water are lost annually in water networks around the world, further stressing water scarce regions $1.7 Trillion projected water infrastructure spending gap in the US >20% of all clean water treated and pumped into the distribution system is lost via leakage before reaching the end consumer, leading to ~$10B in wasted opex Water Utility Global Revenues in 2011 were $470BN on a cost base of $230BN Revenues are expected to grow to $560BN by 2017 with a cost base of $280BN

WATER & COMMUNICATION / OR SMART WATER NETWORKS Pre-requisite : ACCESS TO DATA Where should data come from? From any significant network point What kind of data should be used?

6 WATER & COMMUNICATION / OR SMART WATER NETWORKS Pre-requisite : ACCESS TO DATA Where should data come from? From any significant network point What kind of data should be used? All meaningful and whose correlation brings added value information Set-up of a network is not universal but individual to each water company Most important : data collected is trustworthy and doesn t change with time

8 SENSORS iperl Static electromagnetic end point using a remanent magnetic technology principle includes sensor technology licensed by Sentec Limited It provides a linear metrology Gives a very low starting flow Due to its principle and functioning principle, IT DOESN T AGE Whole life accuracy, reliability & dependability 15 years battery life R800 across whole range Tested in harsh water & environmental conditions Developed for every application Dn15-Dn40 All international body lengths Manifold version in 2013

9 INNOVATION THROUGH EXPERIENCE iperl is not new for SENSUS USA (AWWA) version launched 2010 Different body lengths & flow rates Packaged for US requirements Eye ball/touch read Based on the same technology Same flow tube design Same power management & processing algorithm Flow rates to MID/OIML R49 Re packaged for the global market Dual on board radio Proven reliability, dependable accuracy >1,000,000 in operation Largest market share of static meters in US

10 COMMUNICATION NO ONE SOLUTION? Dependent on application Sensors in close proximity to one another Well suited to low power radio Fixed or mobile network Sensors spread over distance High power radio GPRS

11 LOW POWER RADIO HOW MANY WAY? Traditional low power radios work on 2 principals: One way uni directional (broadcast) technology Fixed battery lifetime Permanent radio emissions Auto-routing in a network Easy meter detect by bubble sniff Smaller information set Programming only with meter access Two way bi directional (polled) technology Information set selectable Programming remotely via radio Battery lifetime depends on radio traffic (unaddressed overhearing) Radio emission after radio request Meter location and address must be known

opened every 4 th emission Auto-routing in a network Easy meter detect by bubble sniff Smaller information set, but with a

12 LOW POWER RADIO A THIRD WAY? Sensus radio utilizes a third option: 1.5 way bi directional (Listen After Talk) technology Fixed battery lifetime Radio emissions every 15s Bi directional channel opened every 4 th emission Auto-routing in a network Easy meter detect by bubble sniff Smaller information set, but with a longer response time more information accessible Programming remotely via radio Choice of the infrastructure set should serve a low risk value During its use as well as over its technology evolution

13 COMMUNICATION THAT YOU NEED The endpoint delivers the following information every 15 seconds in a short telegram (BUP): Meter Type iperl Fab. No Meter reading 3683 Alarm information** Reception level (RSSI)* 25% Time Stamp* :11:15 Possible alarms are:

COMMUNICATION THAT YOU WANT On request information Using a Parameter Application Message (PAM) the iperl supplies extended information in a Setup Message and more Information (SEMI) protocol: Meter

15 IF READING REMOTELY IS SO EASY WHY DOESN T EVERYONE DO IT? The case is compelling: Cost of water/labour Customer service issues Added value Key barrier to adoption: Proprietary systems Sensus solution: 2 nd OMS embedded radio with T1 mode broadcasting settings (unidirectional) installed in every unit by default* Read by MUCs and any other OMS compatible device specified by the market for the European smart metering program Sensus solution: Open DLL s Share libraries with developers *currently 868MHz only
