* 2011 figures

• Lighting stock of more than 500,000 lights

• Some lighting infrastructure dates from the 1920s

• Organic growth and lack of strict record-keeping means maintenance and operational headaches

• Lights in territory also owned by private entities, municipalities …

• Energy reduction by using LEDs or dimming not currently high on the agenda

2

South-East FL: Network Coverage

From 75,000 street lights in pilot phase with SSN …

… to nearly 500,000 street lights across its 35-county service territory statewide

World’s largest announced network lighting programme

Proven Network, Proving Lighting

• FPL today already runs:

– ~4MM AMI devices

– > 100k DA devices

– Wide range of other devices in small numbers

• Lighting solution includes a new (for FPL) partner ecosystem, needed verification

4

Miami-Dade County – Testing Ground

• Home to 2.5M people in 4500 sqkm– considered a “World City” like Copenhagen, Paris, Singapore etc

• Terrain varies from dense urban (Brickell) to wilderness (Everglades)

• FPL serves almost all of the county

• Approx. 75,000 lights to network

Criteria to Define Benefits

• FPL’s focus is productivity gains

– no good geospatial info

– some lights installed in 1920s – no real “record”

– plenty of time “driving around finding lights”

• Operating expenditure reduction is crucial

– 120,000 “the light isn’t working right” calls p.a.

– Multi-visit fixes

– IOU op structure and SmartGrid interaction (e.g., metering the light)

Improved billing accuracyInventory/Asset Management

Increased revenues (disconnect for non-pay and inactive accounts)

Real time control/command

Increased customer satisfaction (turn on/off lights for events, turtles nesting and other applications)

Scheduling

Dynamic ticketing to WMS for non-functioning lights, other errors

Alarms & Algorithms

Streetlight health by customer (total lights, % non-functioning)

Upcoming schedule changes by customerReporting

Ability to open UI to end customers

Increased troubleshooting capabilities for internal operationsDynamic User Interface

Example: Vero Beach Area Coverage

• Circle & yellow – strong radio performance

• Orange & purple –range of radio, edge

• Extends overall radio coverage of area

• … effect?

Preliminary Latency and Hopcount BenefitsMean hop-count from 6 down to 3AMI Meters near to streetlights down to 1-2 hops on averageLast-gasp and outage scoping improvements

Reduce rtt to an individual node from 2.2 seconds to 1 secondsReduce retries with better RF linksReach 95% of all network devices in under 1 min (> 5MM devices)

AMI Latency ImprovementsLatency drops to just under 1 second

How Does it Fit with the IoT?

14

Intersection of three crucial trends

• Moore’s Law (Semiconductors)

• Metcalfe’s Law (Networked Device Value)

• Truly Big Data

Platform Vision

Incumbency&

Scale More customer engagement and empowerment is key to loyalty and satisfaction

Ability to deliver city services more efficiently an in a coordinated way

Ownership of poles, wires, right-of-way is a critical asset for deploying “internet-of -things”

Experience delivering real/physical world services is a big advantage

Proven returns to core business from deploying core platform

Platform facilitates low marginal cost to add devices, apps, services to create new revenue streams
