2 DATAC Company Background Founded: 1981 Headquarters: Dublin, Ireland. US Headquarters: Houston, TX SCADA Systems and M2M Technology Certification: ISO 9001:2000, EN50020, ATEX Markets: Utilities & Energy Suppliers, Telcos, Marine & Wireless M2M Applications

3 SCADA is all around but rarely seen Satellite Communications Systems 6. Power Generation 2. Lighthouse Systems 7. Building Automation 3. Offshore Oilrig Production 8. Energy Metering/Management 4. Rail Monitoring & Control 9. Telecoms Monitoring 5. Water Treatment Systems 10. Gas Distribution/Monitoring

4 Markets Served Operating in Multiple Markets Oil / Gas Telecommunications Water & Waste Water Power Marine Projects throughout the world

5 Satcom or Terrestrial? We use Satellite communications when there is no alternative It s still too expensive for most applications We address this by using hybrid solutions

6 Rainfall, water level monitoring in Borneo with VSAT and VHF radio

7 Experience- The end user blames the system supplier Quality of service issues Reliability issues Installation costs Site security High operating costs

8 Lighthouses and Aids to Navigation- VSAT at remote site

10 Oil Field SCADA Middle East Major SCADA Installation 1,000 oil wells Desert location 60,000 points Wireless IP network Real-time data transfer

11 Some Examples

12 Radio Network Compared to Satellite: Upfront hardware costs similar No running costs Real-time data transfer

13 M2M Machines talking to machines and to us M2M is consumer level SCADA Opportunity is need for billions of machines to be linked Improve quality of life

14 M2M Requirements Cost per monitored point must be low Need to configure hybrid comms networks Use Licence free low power radio at end points Use GPRS as Gateway Installation must be simple

15 DATAC Remote Reader Micro RTU Accommodates up to 6 signals including Gas Levels, Metering, temperature and pressure. Battery operated with 7-10 years battery life. Intelligent Sleep Mode conserves battery life. Dial-Up or GSM/GPRS versions available. Fully compatible with Datac TsWeb Distribution Management Telemetry Software. Intrinsically safe, ATEX certified.

16 New and innovative applications generate revenue growth M2M users seek to cut costs Savings in insurance, fuel usage, inventory, staff etc Most applications are not revenue generators Awareness of satellite is low

17 New and innovative applications generate revenue growth Users not familiar with communications technologies Cellular, radio, Wi-Fi come to mind first Satcom perceived as expensive Huge potential market for multi mode satellite products

18 M2M Satellite penetration- Frost & Sullivan Research End million active M2M satellite units Generating $527 million revenues Forecast $3.5 million by 2102 Current split is 28% hardware and 72% service revenues Forecast is 21% hardware and 79% service revenues

19 Meeting the requirements of M2M market Orbcomm promoting new modem for M2M Claims effficient energy consumption 2.0 Power supply 8-16 VDC Not suitable for many remote unattended applications Market demands 5 year plus battery life

20 Multi Mode solutions Some new dual mode Satellite and GPRS Use cheapest and best option as available Some offering Satellite and Zigbee Connect to several monitored points Reduces cost of satcom hardware per point High service costs still remain

21 Blue Ocean Wireless-GSM with Satellite BOW Inmarsat architecture Satellite JRC Antennas Data circuit for signaling and SMS RGW Analogue Voice Circuit Ground Earth Stations PSTN LAN Mobile Phones with BOW SIM BTS Blue Ocean Wireless Limited (February 2008)

22 The competition-hard to beat in most cases Cellular coverage available where most needed Cellular costs have dropped for M2M applications GPRS hardware costs falling significantly Low power consumption Integration of radio with cellular lowers costs further

23 The Competition-the facts Cellular SIM card rental from < 4 per month low volumes To ca. 1 per month high volumes SMS costs ca GPRS data ca. 1-3 per Mb Enough for 1 full year GSM/GPRS engine costs Ca. 60-low volumes < 25- high volumes

24 The competition-performance issues GSM RTU Power consumption Stand by mode - less than 10 micro Amp Radio Tx mode - 65 ma GSM Tx mode 200mA average Battery 3.6 v Battery life 7 years average

25 Smart metering using licence free RF and GSM/GPRS

26 Realflex Software Built for Success SCADA needs real-time M2M offers huge potential Reduce service costs Partner with suppliers
