EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 222 / 356 In the test demonstration a medium-voltage sub-station was connected to the premises of the Graphic Corporation (publishers of the Daily Graphic) which has its own low-voltage sub- station. The test took place on the third floor of the building and powered up all the sockets as POPs. "It was a test designed to show that the system can work in an African environment". Cactel says it was able to demonstrate internet connectivity, internet PC telephone, live streaming and the use of a surveillance camera. Boye told: "We were able to use Skype to make calls to Europe and to make PC calls to Ghana Telecom and mobile subscribers on all networks in Ghana. We achieved low latency. We were also able to show video surveillance from a camera installed in a different part of the Graphic's premises". The bandwidth was supplied by Africa Online using a 2 Mbps link via a wireless link to the roof of the graphic building. According to Boye: "Speeds are dictated by the weakest link in the chain. Therefore in this instance the speeds achieved were limited by the link provided by the ISP. But the a medium to low-voltage link could give you as much as a 9 mbps speed. A chip capable of delivering 45 mbps can be used at this layer and a new one is being built that could give 200 Mbps”. However in the not too distant future it will show the Ghana's power company a Remote Energy Management System. This is able to: read customers' meters automatically; identify where power lines have gone down and where power is being drawn down illegally. On average one medium-voltage sub-station serves 10 low-voltage transformers which gives a potential customer base of approximately 2,000 customers. A medium-voltage sub-station modem costs between USD 5-6000. The chip is produced by DS2, one of Cactel's technology partners. If distances are greater than 3 km, then there is a need a Home Gateway (a modem and repeater) which costs USD 3,000. If you needed to reach 2,000 customers you might need two which would cost USD 6,000. Each power point used needs an ICPE which can take up to three devices and these cost USD 100 per power point. Boye foresees the power company being bale to create its own supply ring: "You can ring together 10 medium-voltage sub-stations. It is the ubiquity that this approach will offer that

It can also be used in a rural environment where the only requirement is access to electricity". According to Boye 90% of the population in urban areas is passed by power supply lines and this falls to 50% in rural areas. As he points out: "All regional districts and their capitals are covered. Cactel Communications has received encouraging signals from the regulator, the NCA and we believe that the Government is keen to see the company offer a larger pilot in rural areas. 5.4.4.2.3 PLC cases in Egypt Egypt has good resources, both economic and infrastructural, that have allowed it to jump a long phase of tests concerning the powerrline technology, and to focus itself on the pratcical realization of a village interconnected with PLC technology. [A19] On 27 th June 2007, PLC International and Corinex Communications have won the bid for a powerline based smart village in Cairo, Egypt. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) chose PLC International Inc. integrating Corinex equipment after two RFP processes and extensive technology evaluation. Phase one of the project comprises three buildings interconnected over the medium voltage power lines. Selected users will receive Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), video and Internet services. "We're looking to build a Smart Village, and the technology requirements outlined in the RFP were very strict and demanding", said Eng Samy, MCIT's Under-Secretary. PLC International and AEDCO (PLC representative in Egypt) have been selected by MCIT: the first one, has years of experience in the high voltage powerline carrier industry and has chosen to team up with Corinex Communications to ensure a complete solution for MV and LV powerlines. The second one says to see a great potential, not just for the triple play, but for automatic meter reading (AMR), MV automation, reclosers control, etc.
