3 Amplex Presentation 3 What have we done? Amplex has been part of the Danish Smart Grid strategy working directly with the Danish Energy Minister GridLight covers >50% of all Danish streetlights including the four largest cities: Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg. 25% of the streetlights in Sweden are controlled by Amplex. GridLight is used by several Northern European national road authorities CPH installation encompasses fixtures and 483 control cabinets and Aarhus from 528 cabinets. Transformer monitoring in Brunei for theft, bottlenecks and equipment protection. Abu Dhabi is covering fixtures from 7000 control cabinets. The biggest centralised system in the world. Automated Smart Meter Reading in Abu Dhabi of power and water meters. Biggest in GCC. Beijing Highway Authorities Project counts 5,500 streetlights Madrid is controlled from more than 1000 control cabinets on Amplex equipment. In total, Amplex have installations in 22 countries around the world. IoT infrastructure solution for Frederiksberg Municipality in CPH for Energy Management and potential Smart City solutions.

5 Amplex Presentation 5 Hvorfor LoRa!!!! Lang rækkevidde Infrastruktur er dyr at etablere og vedligeholde - derfor er rækkevidde α&ω Minimere løbende omkostninger Ingen dyre SIM kort som på GSM Ingen løbende abonnementer som på SIGFOX Prisbillig hardware ved stor volumen Mange leverandører af både basestationer, sensorer og software Ingen afhængighed af 3-part. Man kan selv eje hele sin infrastruktur Ikke så følsom selv om leverandører går ned Amplex har kunder der kræver op til 20 års drift Kan anvende eksisterende LoRaWAN netværk og enkelt plogge sin egen løsning ind

6 Amplex Presentation 6 Hvorfor LoRa???? Bleeding edge Meget ny teknologi Ingen store referencer endnu Ringe driftserfaringer Ikke helt gennemtænkte protokoller Broadcast/multicast mangler Ingen sw opdateringer Ingen samtidige styresignal, f.eks. til at tænde/slukke gadelys Mange SW leverandører leverer swas-a- service (SaaS) Hvad hvis leverandøren går ned eller stopper med LoRa? Kan jeg skifte leverandør Pt. ingen funktionsafhængige profiler som f.eks. i ZigBee Sensorer bliver hurtigt proprietære

7 Amplex Presentation 7 Konkret pilot projekt Ønske: Individuel styring af hver mast Udfordring: Ingen skabe for f.eks. hver 100 mast Prisbilligt - både anskaffelse og drift 20 års support Scope: pæle ~ 50% af en by beliggende primært i centrum 2-vejs kommunikation Minimal strømforbrug Pilot: for proof of concept Kerlink basestation Egen udviklet pælemodul Amplex processor/ strømforsyning Nemeus LoRa modul Amplex software Pilot klar efter 1 måned Har kørt i næsten 1 år nu Primært for at undersøge stabilitet og rækkevidde Status: Kunden er glad og tør nu prøve det af i byen

8 Amplex Presentation 8 Hvad har vi lært? LoRa er godt til hurtige proofof-concept Men kun hvis man har adgang til gode udviklere og en samlet software platform Amplex har prøvet flere andre lignende teknologier af og pt. finder vi LoRa og LoRaWAN værende den mest interessante til: Sensorer med lavt strømforbrug Sensorer med begrænsede data der skal kommunikere Ting der må løses: Broadcast - primært til software opdateringer Sekundært til central styring f.eks. af gadelys
