We are seeking end users who might be interested in trialling a new pollution monitoring and modelling platform which we will be developing in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) over the next 12 months. Red Skies are a preferred supplier to ESA. We currently provide a range of technologies and platforms to support water utilities and environmental agencies including our SODA (Secure yet Open Data Architecture) platform which collects & pulls together big data, generating sensors and devices within utilities. Red Skies & ESA is interested in making available space assets and services to support water utilities and environmental agencies and we are discussing a new platform which runs on top of the SODA platform to provide pollution monitoring and modelling features including the following. Securely pull data from potentially millions of pollution sensors over an area, using wireless and satellite communications to access remote locations. •Securely pull in third party data feeds such as weather data. •Securely store all collected data in a cloud or private cloud environment. •Enable pollution data to be visualised over a Bing or Google map as well as play back time series data such as readings over the last month to see how pollution has moved. •Using all historic data and any available data such as weather data, predict how pollution will move in the future to enable planning for future events. •Provide an extensible architecture to allow additional services to be developed by us and any third parties such as new reporting and modelling services. While ESA will be providing all space assets, we will also be talking to other national space agencies to gather further national involvement. We will be developing the platform but we are seeking potential end users who would be willing to run trials of the platform once its developed which will enable us to measure the effectiveness of the platform, gather feedback on how to improve the platform and provide the most useful overall solution to organisations around the world. We will be working with Oxford University on the sensors themselves to ensure we provide the most complete solution including sampling for the widest and most appropriate range of water based pollutants. By running a trial you will be able to measure the effectiveness of the solution for your organisation, will be able to feedback and help shape the platform and will be able to access this high tech solution very early and start to benefit from its capabilities ahead of the wider world. We also have support from the UK’s Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to develop the best sensor capability. Regards Dennis Elliott Red Skies Group 01865 600 029
