Cyan (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, announces that it has won the Innovation of the Year Award 2015 at the 6th annual Smart Energy UK & Europe Awards for its CyLec smart metering solution designed for the power sector in next-generation economies.

Judges felt that Cyan had contributed greatly to the formation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure by enabling wireless data transmission to utilities. Cyan’s CyLec solution is based on its
wireless mesh networking platform, enabling the measurement and control of energy consumption for the metering market, supporting the reduction of energy losses as well as revenue assurance.

John Cronin, Executive Chairman for Cyan, commented: “It is a great honour to receive this prestigious award in recognition of Cyan’s innovation in next-generation smart grids, empowering consumers to manage their energy consumption. We are very proud of the progress we have made within these markets, and optimistic about the future of smart metering in fast-growing economies. We have worked hard to create innovative solutions tailored to the specific environmental and economic conditions in which they are deployed and is great to see our hard work recognised by such a respected institution.”
