Keynote presentation by Freestyle Technology CEO Mohan Jesudason at GASEX 2014 in Hong Kong on 19 November 2014. Covering the evolution of the Gas Utility Industry and the revolution being unleashed by the connected consumer and the Internet of Things.

1. The Gas Value Chain –
Improvement Opportunities
• Mohan Jesudason
• Chief Executive Officer

2. Today’s Consumer
• Better educated
• Has access to information
• Well connected
• Wants to be in control
• Cares

3. The Internet has
fundamentally & permanently
changed our lives

4. The Internet of Things
will take this to another level.

5. Modern
Telecommunications
The Era of Connecting Places:
100 years to connect 1 billion people
The Era of Connecting People:
5 to 15 years to connect 5 billion
The Era of Connecting Things:
Now

6. Modern
Telecommunications
2030 –
1 trillion connections across fixed and mobile
networks
2050 –
50 billion will connect globally to the mobile internet

7. The world is connected like never
before...
The Internet of Things is already
enabling millions of connections,
conversations and interactions and the
payoff is huge and wide-reaching.

8. The world is connected
like never before with:
• Faster, better decisions
• More relevant, targeted services
• Massive savings in time, money,
resources and labour
• Environment efficiencies – both
natural and urban

9. The world is connected
like never before...
For the M2M enabled business,
knowledge isn’t power, it’s profit
and progress.
The more you know,
the more you can do.

10. The Gas Industry is
No Exception
A powerful and informed consumer is not a
frightening proposition.
Consumers now want to know not just how much
their energy costs, but where it comes from, how to
best use it and how to interact with it for not only
their benefit, but that of society and the
environment.

11. The Gas Industry is
No Exception
M2M gives your consumers
real-time updates and enables them to respond to
and control their energy usage which in turn creates
a closer connection between them and you.

12. The Gas Industry is
No Exception
Smart meters = smart customers = smart money

13. Infrastructure is smarter
and cleaner…
Intelligent transport from massive traffic
management systems to pizza delivery - The
customer, your stockholders and the planet will
thank you.

14. Infrastructure is smarter
and cleaner… M2M:
• can help traffic mangers prioritise and divert
traffic flow.
• can help waste contractors to pick up bins only
when they’re full.
• can monitor and respond to extra demand from
commuters.

15. Infrastructure is smarter
and cleaner… M2M:
• keeps hospital beds open for those who really
need them through remote monitoring of
outpatients.
• can respond to sudden weather conditions and
open floodgates,
• can re-route traffic and shut down services at
risk of water damage.

16. Infrastructure is smarter
and cleaner…
M2M technology is set to be
THE key factor in enabling utilities, governments,
road builders and public transport operators to
respond better to growing/shifting populations.
M2M keeps the Modern Age
moving forward.

17. The gas industry
has evolved…
The gas industry is one of distance and breadth.
From remote, sometimes inaccessible locations at
the extraction point, to vast web-like distribution
points at the delivery end. It’s an industry which was
made for M2M, which itself evolved from the
telemetry tools used for decades in the gas and oil
industry.

18. The gas industry
has evolved…
A competitive edge, improved safety, giant leaps in
efficiency and the freedom to concentrate on
innovation and new market opportunities.
This is what M2M means
to the gas industry.

19. Freestyle powers the evolution
of the gas industry…
The dual tyrannies of distance and accessibility
mean the essential tasks of monitoring and
controlling drills, wells and pipelines can often only
be achieved by wireless, radio, satellite and cellular
technology - thankfully, these are all ubiquitous and
all cost effective.
The same applies to your business
at the delivery end.

20. Freestyle powers the evolution
of the gas industry…
Freestyle enables this with true ‘comms agnostic’ technology.
No matter how you connect with your remote facilities or your
end users, Freestyle can ensure you get the data you want,
whenever and however you want it.
Cellular, Wi-Sun, ZigBee, WiFi, ZWave,
Ethernet, serial, DSL?
Think of Freestyle’s technology as a
digital Rosetta Stone.
