ISY - die Alternative zu Echelon (heute + 46%) - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Aston Martin]

Instracoastal Systems Engineering Corporation - ein langer Name hinter dem sich ein 2. Echelon verbirgt!!!!!!!!
Es handelt sich um ein kanadisches Unternehmen (Kürzel: ISY.V - gehandelt am CDNX) welches auf dem gleichen Gebiet tätig ist wie Echelon. Allerdings konzentriert sich ISY auf den asiatischen, orietalischen und südamerikanischen Raum und konnte schon sehr gutes News veröffentlichen (Selber prüfen!)
Die Aktie ist just dabei um 46% zu steigen, eine Ende ist nicht abzusehen. Wurde leider auch im Rahmen des Nasdaq-Verfalls `geknüppelt`, ist jedoch heute abgegangen wie eine Rakete und mit derzeit Can$ 0.65(!) NOCH erschwinglich - fragt sich nur wielange man das Papier zu diesem Preis noch erhält. Habe mich bei Can$ 0.48 mit 50000 Stück eingedeckt für die nächsten 2 Jahre.

7/20/00 - IntraCoastal Very Well Received in India

INTRACOASTAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING CORP ("ISY-V") - IntraCoastal Very Well Received in India

Mr. Vid Wadhwani, Chairman and COO of IntraCoastal System Engineering Corporation, is pleased to announce that a team from IntraCoastal has recently returned from a most successful mission to India.

In May/June 2000, representatives from IntraCoastal made presentations to eight different electrical utilities throughout the Northern and Southern regions of India. IntraCoastal has received the most positive, immediate response in its history of opening up major new markets. In the few weeks since our team has been back in Canada, we have received a visit from Mr. Kulpreet Sahni, Director of Mokul International that culminated in the signing of an agreement and requests for two pilot projects have already been received.

The following factors appear to be working to IntraCoastal`s advantage in India:

1. The loss of power due to theft and other causes is higher in India than in IntraCoastal`s other markets. Mr. Bami, former Chairman, Managing Director and Director of Finance of the National Thermal Power Corporation says, "Some utilities report losses as high as 45%. However, if you read the press, you quickly learn the number is closer to 60%. The entire country needs reform. If the IntraCoastal system offers similar benefits in India as it has in other parts of the world, there is no telling how large your potential will be."

2. Financial institutions have recognized this problem. Lenders such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have shifted their focus in India from power generation to distribution and transmission. Financing is available for new projects to address the issue of revenue losses. This highlights the need for Power Line Communication (PLC) and Automated Meter Reading (AMR).

3. The Government is also moving in this direction. The Central Government of India is expected to mandate that every consumer must have an electric meter monitoring use by the end of 2001. While such a goal may not be attainable, it will serve to emphasize the sense of urgency that prevails in India.

4. The business case for PLC/AMR in India is very strong. These are not new concepts in India but IntraCoastal`s system is the lowest cost solution that has been presented. "The payback of capital needed to implement our system will be under two years based on figures provided by various utilities in India and assuming a modest 15% of the total power lost is recovered," states Mr. Edison Ho, Chief Financial Officer, IntraCoastal System Engineering Corporation.

5. Mr. Aswani Nanda of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi said on a recent visit to IntraCoastal, "I strongly believe your technology could benefit the Indian market a great deal. With all the power sector reforms taking place in India, now is the right time for you."

Mr. Wadhwani concludes, "We see tremendous potential for our business in India in both the short and long term. India has an extremely serious power theft problem, international lenders are pursuing policies that encourage the utilities to address this issue, the Government is onside and the business case is strong. As Mr. Nanda indicates, we are in the right place at the right time with the right product."

IntraCoastal System Engineering Corporation is engaged in the design and manufacture of its patented Power Line Communication System, including an Automated Meter Reading System, which provides reliable data transmission over the power lines with low power consumption and high anti-interference capability.

Vielleicht gibt es ja doch noch ein paar Weitsichtige die bei Intracoastal erkennen, was für ein fantastisches Unternehmen hier im Stillen wächst. Darum, trotz mangelhafter Reaktion, noch ein paar weitere Statements meinerseits:

Heute erhielt ich einen Anruf vom PR-Mann von ISY Alan Feldman. Er teilte mir mit, daß ISY im Rahmen seiner Standard&Poor-Akzeptanz in den USA eine riesige PR-Kampagne durch die PR-Firma Kaplan startet. Etliche Brokerhäuser haben bereits Interesse bekundet. Mit dem Gang an die US-Börse tun sich für die kanadische Firma Intracoastal Systems Engineering Möglichkeiten auf, die die Aktie mit Sicherheit in die Region von US$15-20 katapultieren dürfte - aufgrund der S&P-Akzeptanz dürfen Analysten ISY erstmals empfehlen!!!!!!! Und das ISY zu empfehlen ist, daß beweist ihre Konkurrenz zu Echelon. Zudem ist die Technologie von ISY weit preisgünstiger als die Echelons und macht ISY besonders interessant für die asiatischen und südamerikanischen Länder (siehe auch heute News: Indien)in der energiediebstahl an der Tagesordnung ist. Mit der ISY-Technologie wird dies unmöglich gemacht. Und das ist nuir ein Gebiet ISYs - generell Vernetzung ist ein weiteres Gebiet.

Bevor ich`s vergesse: Die Shareholder-Pflege von ISY ist beispielhaft: Ich kenne kaum eine Firma die persönliche ihre Shareholder anruft um Ihnen Informationen zu vermitteln. Diese Anrufe bekomme ich seit einem halben Jahr und bin immer bestens informiert.

Soviel für heute - noch habe ich nicht ausgegeben! Hier wird doch sonst allmöglicher Schrott wie australische Minenumbaucompanys in dotcom Klamaukfirmen zum Kauf empfohlen - wie wärs mal mit einem seriösen start-up-Unternehmen?!

The high-tech house plugs in

A Vancouver firm has figured out how to link smart appliances through plain old wall sockets

By Mike Byfield

An accountant decides to invite a half dozen friends for lunch next Saturday. Out go e-mailed invitations. Also through the Internet the hostess chooses recipes, compares what ingredients she`ll need versus what`s already stocked in her "smart" refrigerator, and places a grocery order for delivery fresh on Friday night. As an afterthought, she leaves a message on her fridge`s computer screen, reminding her son of his violin lesson that day. Smart appliances of this ilk were demonstrated in January at the International Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas by Microsoft, Philips, Cisco, Panasonic and other giants, and some are expected to reach the market this year.

Enthusiasts like Microsoft boss Bill Gates hope convenience and safety will stoke demand. A smoke detector can request a computer to dial a cell phone for help. The laundry washer pops a small icon onto every screen in the house when its load is ready for the dryer. Eventually, smart home technology may embrace lighting, audio, locks and security systems, heating and air conditioning, and most other appliances. But experts agree that large-volume sales will require a quick, cheap way to network all of these smart appliances without rewiring homes. Not accidentally, a suitable technology has already been developed by Vancouver-based IntraCoastal System Engineering Corp.

IntraCoastal has figured out how to pass data packets through a home`s electrical wiring. Plug a machine into any socket and it would be automatically networked to every other plugged-in appliance, including computers (which can in turn be connected to telephone and fibre optic cable systems). "We have a prototype system set up in our office which will pass messages between two computers, control a thermostat coupled to a fan, stuff like that," says Ted Ohashi, IntraCoastal`s president and CEO.

Und wieder eine Pressestimme zu Intracoastal:

Remote control dream waits for world to catch up

Power line technology uses home`s wiring for long-distance control
(Articel by Michel Comte)

From the window of his fifth floor office, Ted Ohashi has a clear view of the Gastown steam clock and the hundreds of tourists that stop each week to admire the turn-of-the-century technology. On the other side of the glass, however, the chief executive officer of Intracoastal System Engineering Corp. and his band of engineers are wide-eyed about a new technology that allows a personal computer to control common household devices found in most homes through existing electrical wiring.

It`s called power line technology and it has the virtual world buzzing with glee.

Sitting at a computer in a mock-up living room in Intracoastal`s offices, Ohashi is able to turn a nearby lamp on and off by simply pointing and clicking his mouse on an icon on his computer monitor. He powers a fan in the corner of the room with another mouse click. Then a sensor on the wall sends a message to his computer identifying movement in the room. The computer responds by flicking on the lights. Finally, Ohashi sets off the fire alarm and it too communicates with the computer, which in turn dials for help (in this example to the cell phone of Hafez Panju, vice-president of systems and production -- in real life, the call would go to the local fire department). All of the communications are done through existing electrical wiring in the building.

For the past six years, Intracoastal (www.intracoastal.net) has been developing technology to send small data packets from automatic meter readers through power lines to public utilities so they can monitor electricity consumption and combat theft. It has a dozen pilot projects now running in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Peru, Iran and two scheduled to start soon in India. The company is now focused on commercializing that technology, which provided the bulk of Intracoastal`s $577,000 in revenues last year.

In January, the company began adapting its microchip and software for in-home use after Microsoft`s Bill Gates and other U.S. high tech industry leaders began promoting their vision for automated networked homes at the Int`l Consumer Electronics Show (www.cesweb.org) in Las Vegas.

That vision involves using a combination of television cables, telephone lines, wireless devices and electrical wiring to hook up home electronics and home appliances to the Internet and to wireless Web-enabled hand-held devices and cellular phones.

Sending data through electrical wiring at up to 120 kilobits per second is slower than using competing technologies such as wireless or broadband communication, but it is a cheaper networking solution.

"It`s fine for turning things on and off, stuff like that, but for transmitting data, you need [to be able to send] a minimum one or two million bits of data. Basically, it`s using networks to control everyday devices, such as lights, air conditioning, heating or small appliances. Power line technology is the best way to attack that because it`s already installed [in every home in North America]," said John Todd, an analyst for Thomas Weisel Partners LLC in San Francisco.

He expects home security products to be the first to hit stores with the technology to allow home-owners to turn alarms on and off or remotely scan the inside of their homes through cameras hooked up to the Internet. Smart refrigerators and other appliances are expected out next year.

Although consumer reaction to the Jetsons dream home has been positive, big appliance manufacturers need to be onboard in order to launch the technology because it must be integrated into consumer products such as refrigerators or furnaces, Todd said.

"You need a major commitment from a major infrastructure player. It`s not the type of thing that can be rolled out in small increments to succeed," he said.

Despite the recent push from high tech companies such as Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, most analysts agree it will be three to five years before power line technology becomes as widely popular in North American homes as microwaves or compact disks.

Aware of this possible delay, Intracoastal is holding off commercializing its prototype for homes until the market matures.

"We want to see a clear demand for this technology," said Vid Wadhwani, chair of Intracoastal.

Once a market has been established, Intracoastal hopes to come in with a cheaper model, much the same way VHS competed with Beta in the late 1970s, he said. The company can now manufacture the computer chip and motherboard used in its automatic meter reader networking pilot projects for about $15, almost half the cost of products developed by competitors.

Last year, Intracoastal (ISE:CDNX) lost $1.98 million. *

8/16/00 - To Proceed with Pilot in Thailand
INTRACOASTAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING CORP ("ISY-V") - To Proceed with Pilot in Thailand
Mr. Vid Wadhwani, Chairman of IntraCoastal System Engineering Corporation, is pleased to announce that the Company has been authorized by the National Energy Police Office (NEPO) in Thailand to proceed with a pilot installation of it``s Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system using a patented Power Line Communications technology.

The urgent need for an AMR system in Thailand is arising from the fact that NEPO is planning to announce a change in the countries electrical distribution billing system from its existing format to include a Tariff Payment structure before the end of this year. In an effort to promote efficient use of electricity amongst its 14 million residential end-users, NEPO``s tariff structure will encourage use of electricity during traditionally low consumption periods and discourage use during peak periods. An effective shift in power consumption away from peak periods will substantially lower the use of costly fuel burning co-generation power plants that are typically brought online during times of excess demand.

To facilitate the implementation of IntraCoastal``s AMR system, the company has entered into an agreement with Thai Tele-Containers Company, Ltd (TTC) to joint venture on this project. TTC is an established telecommunications and manufacturing company in Thailand with a customer base including Siemens AG (Thailand), NEC Thailand, Ericsson (Thailand), Nokia Thailand Co., Ltd. as well as both the Provincial Electrical Authority (PEA) and the Bangkok Metropolitan Electrical Authority (MEA).

The pilot installation is expected to commence in early September and be fully operational by September 18, 2000. The pilot will consist of two sites each within the jurisdiction of the MEA and the PEA. Upon the successful completion of the pilot, IntraCoastal anticipates a 50,000 unit deployment with each of the utilities as part of an initial phase roll out.

Thailand joins a growing list of countries that are currently testing IntraCoastal``s AMR system within their electrical grid and utility infrastructure. Pilots are currently operational in Indonesia, Vietnam, Peru, Iran, Kuwait as well as many Provinces in China. Like Thailand, India will also be implementing IntraCoastal``s AMR system in several test pilots in the early part of next year.

IntraCoastal System Engineering Corporation is engaged in the design and manufacture of its patented Power Line Communication System, including an Automated Meter Reading System, which provides reliable data transmission over the power lines with low power consumption and high anti-interference capability. IntraCoastal``s AMR System boosts utility revenues by helping eliminate power theft and fraud. TEL: [phone]
