The Solar BLE Sensor transmits temperature and humidity data using the

BLE broadcasting mode. The Solar BLE Sensor is ultra-low power and works with just solar energy.

HardwareThe BLE Beacon is a one-way communication method that broadcasts at a

regular interval. It consists of small packets of data (30 bytes) of “advertisements.” Beacons that want to be “discovered” can be used for a variety of smartphone or computer applications to trigger things like push

messages, app actions, and prompts. The following is the link layer format of the BLE for advertising channel packet format. The BLE link layer includes “Preamble,” “Access Address,” “PDU (Protocol Data Unit)”, and

CRC. Note that the following information is for the advertising channel packet format; it does not include the data channel packets.

Smart Meters

Problem: How to detect fraud on meters

Solution: Detect anomalies in streams of meter reads or stream data and make available to customers. Use Analytics tools to provide feedback into real-time streams.

Impact: Missed revenue opportunity

PAGE 13

Smart Meters

Requirements: • Ingest of massive scale of data• Detect fraud by anomalies in the data

stream• Alert business of potential fraud• Create models that analyze and determine

fraud scenarios

Client Story: Los Angeles Downtown Parking

The Problem• Downtown parking causes traffic congestion while

drivers find available parking. • A UCLA study of a 15-block area of Westwood

Village determined that the search for parking resulted in motorists traveling almost a million extra miles a year.

Revenue Miles

PAGE 16

The Solution• Use Smart Parking meters to communicate

availability of parking through web, mobile and signage in downtown LA. Drive change in behaviors by adjusting price for parking based on demand.

• Technology: Smart Meters, Azure and Neuron ESB

Client Story: Los Angeles Downtown Parking

PAGE 17

Client Story: Los Angeles Downtown Parking

The Impact• ExpressPark has lowered the average parking rate and

increased the occupancy of spaces. Revenue from the program has risen about 2.5% and traffic congestion caused by motorists searching for a place to park has been reduced.
