1 Supplying A Unique Solution To Nationwide Smart Metering & Better Water Management

2 Nationwide Smart Water Metering & Monitoring Network Wirelessly monitors all customer & network meters nationwide, independent of any national or local water authority Installation, monitoring & maintenance of all meters at 100 per year! Go From ~ 500M spend on water production & distribution with ~ 200M lost due to leaks etc. To Save ~ 150M on water saved through smart monitoring plus 1Bn per year in metered revenue at no capital cost!

3 No capital investment by State 100 annual charge per meter. 150 million annual charge all meters. 10 year agreement. 150 million euro conservation. 1 billion water charges annually 300 permanent employees temporary employees 1.5 million meters. 2 years to completion.

4 The Accu-Rate Technologies Solution Accu-Rate Technologies can provide a full solution with no upfront capital costs to the Government. There will be an annual standing charge of 100 per meter over the 10 year life of the agreement. In return Accu-Rate Technologies will: Install wireless SMART meters nationwide. Designed, built & installed to ISO quality standards Install a nationwide network of wireless flow meters/pressure sensors to monitor the mains for leaks. Provide a secure central database to gather the readings sent from the meters & mains sensors 24/7/365. Provide secure access to customer meter readings by the designated billing agent/agents. Provide secure access to water consumption statistics & leak detection by the water utility provider/providers. Provide a public website to allow households to access their accounts & see their meter readings (conservation) Maintain the full hardware & software systems for the life of the 10 year agreement.

5 National mobile network handling nationwide water meters Wireless Smart Water Meters Existing GPRS phone mast Secure national database Cellbridge sending signals to mast Encrypted meter readings transmitted securely to national database over nationwide mobile phone networks Homes with smart wireless meters sending readings

6 Nationwide mobile network handling nationwide Mains leak sensors Wireless Leak Detection In underground water network anywhere in mains nationwide Secure national database Maintenance receives text message notifying location of leak

7 Single Water Authority Option Multiple Water Authority Option Secure national database Secure national database Accu-Rate Technologies solution will cater for both options and can be added to at any time later.

10 Brief Technical Description Six Critical Elements 1. Chamber, Meter, Insulation/Frost Protection. Numerous proven Options on offer. 2. Node including sensor and transmitter. Network nodes flow and pressure. Possibility of future analytical nodes. 3. Repeater used to relay individual node transmitter to nearest Cellbridge. 4. Cellbridge used to connect nodes/repeaters to headend via GPRS or Broadband. 5. Data Centre is the nerve centre of the system where all data and control is exercised on a 24/7/365 basis. 6. Reports. Customer Care and Billing. On-Demand Read and network performance reports. Troubleshoot and future investment information. The system consists of a network connecting all meters (nodes) to a central data centre. The live information is logged (value, time and date stamped) and checked for conformance to preset performance characteristics and if out of limit alarms as directed by system setup. The nodes communicate with a repeater positioned within several hundred metres of each other. The repeater then in turn communicates with other repeaters to relay signals up to 3 km. The repeater may also communicate with our Cellbridge gateway product which communicates with the Data Centre over GPRS or Broadband. The Cellbridge is capable of handling up to 256 nodes. Other Services To Follow Household abnormal flow alerts (burst mains). Insurance premium reduction potential using this feature. Water quality monitors. Other utility meters.

11 A Unique Solution Using World Class Irish Technology A solution providing a nationwide SMART water metering and data system across 1.5 million meters, which will bring immediate conservation savings of 150 m annually & revenues of 1 billion annually on water services charges.
