"With
the acquisition of Trimax and the ongoing growth of Infrax,
revenues for the year ending June 30, 2010 increased by an
amazing 10,000%."
Overview
Infrax Systems offers a series of interrelated operational management,
communications, and grid security related products and services known as Secure
Intelligent Energy Platform (SIEP). The Company's
products enable a comprehensive and unified solution for communications and
applications management of the Smart Grid. SIEP™ incorporates a wide array of
communications, security, device and data management tools for Smart Grid
applications such as advanced metering solutions and grid optimization. SIEP
platform creates a unified solution to securely manage Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) and distribution automation. Infrax's secure smart grid
platform, incorporates a communications transport and management system, (Grid
Mesh™) , device and data security management, and ultimately secures intelligent
endpoint devices (SIED). The secure management of the "last mile" backhaul will
be necessary for utilities to implement Smart Grid applications including AMI,
real-time pricing, Demand Side Management (DSM), Distribution Monitoring and
Automation. When combined, these applications can offer economic, operational
and environmental benefits for utilities, and ultimately the utility's
customers.
Investment Highlights
- Combining Technologies. Rather than focusing on
one aspect of a smart grid, Infrax has taken the next step
by combining all of the important aspects into a package to
provide customers with the ultimate in smart grid
technology, which is now termed, more appropriately, the
“SECURE GRID.”
- Unlimited Potential. With ever-increasing threats
of terrorism in all forms, the U.S. Government has budgeted
$2.7 billion in counter terrorism funds.
- Recent Acquisition. While Infrax is an emerging
leader in the world of smart grid technology, the Company
has also incorporated business strategies to generate
revenues from a variety of other avenues, including a recent
acquisition of Trimax Wireless.
- Future Revenue Projections. Based on the
Company’s projections, the belief is that they will achieve
$6 million dollars in revenue for the year ending June 30,
2011.
- Experienced Leadership. The reality of cyberterrorism is
a difficult concept to grasp as only minor instances have
occurred and bee publicized, but experts in the field know
its true potential. Infrax has brought former White House
Director of Cyber-Security Policy, Ely Kahn, to its advisory
board to assist in strategic development and placement of
its technologies.
- Few Companies Poised and Ready. While there are
several companies in the smart grid space, Infrax is
uniquely positioned because it has been forward-thinking
with its technologies. Instead of dealing with some of the
past issues of smart grids, Infrax has identified how to
correct those issues while incorporating modern technologies
into an end-to-end solution.
- Mobile Security Introduction. The Company
announced in late July the availability of an encrypted,
secure communications device based on Google's Android
platform for mobile voice and data applications. This secure
phone is currently available on the HTC Desire phones and
adds to the portfolio of security related products for Smart
Grid applications previously announced by Infrax. The
Android based secure phone will provide users with the
ability to securely manage voice calls and data. The secure
phone uses a peer-to-peer connection for communicating
between devices, thereby eliminating a central network hub
for potential eavesdroppers to aim a single point of attack.
Profile
Terrorism. There is probably not any word that can invoke
more fear in a population. Everyone understands the threat of
terrorist actions in our world today. The history of it goes
back centuries and is well documented although there is a
constant debate over a true definition of the word. A glaring
example of physical terrorism was September 11, 2001. The date
when one of the most violent acts of terrorism on the United
States occurred as 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked
four commercial airlines and crashed them into the World Trade
Center (“Twin Towers”) in New York City and the Pentagon in
Washington D.C killing nearly 3,000 people and completely
destroying the towers.
Over the last thirty years, the continually evolving world of
computer technologies has brought about the concept of
cyberterrorism. Although an exact definition may be squabbled
over, the importance of security to protect against
cyberterrorists is not. Examples are hacking into computer
systems (which Timothy McVeigh did to a government system on
his Commodore 64), introducing viruses to vulnerable networks,
website defacing, denial-of-service attacks, or terroristic
threats made via electronic communication with the motivation
of the furthering one’s agenda. Because of the expansiveness
and interconnectivity of the web, mobile platforms and network
systems, the realm of cyberterrorism is virtually endless.
The money that is spent each year to defend against terrorists
in all forms is proof enough as to how serious this issue has
become. In 2009, the government alone budgeted $2.7 billion
dollars for counter terrorism.
Every terrorist needs an “in” to begin taking action. In the
case of cyberterrorists, an ideal location is through any
massive interconnected system. Electrical grid systems flow
information to billions of people every day and are a prime
entry point. The world of mobile communications has also
opened up a whole new target for infiltration.
Electricity is one of the basic foundations of our world today
and is on ongoing focus of research and technology to control
the distribution and flow of power from provider to consumer
and even back again with regards to alternative power being
produced and sold back to suppliers. Smart grid technologies
have become the backbone of this technology. Basically, an
electrical grid is a combination of networks and multiple
power generation companies which employ several levels of
communication to control the flow of power. For the most part,
the majority of this is manually controlled. Smart grids are
taking this to the next level by increasing the automation and
coordination between all the suppliers involved and subsequent
consumers and networks to increase the connectivity and
efficiency of electrical demands. The smart grid industry is
one of the fastest growing in the world today as it falls into
the “cleantech” sector which consistently receives more than
half of all venture capital investments. In 2009, President
Barack Obama asked Congress to pass legislation to support a
forward push in building a new electricity smart grid and even
established a new position for George W. Arnold as the
Country’s first National Coordinator for Smart Grid
Interoperability.
Quite clearly, this requires an extremely expansive network to
allow the flow of incredible amounts of data through many
avenues to successfully integrate all parties involved in the
management of the system. This is the sort of network that has
become the focus of movies or shows, such as “Eagle Eye” or
“Die Hard with a Vengence” where cyberterrorists are depicted
as hacking into networks to basically take control of the
world as we know it. While the movies are purely fictional,
the importance of protecting these networks is extremely high
as there is some truth that lies within the fiction.
There are many companies involved in the security arena for
developing smart grid security technologies, but one in
particular, Infrax Systems (OTCBB: IFXY), is on the cutting
edge and emerging as a leader in the field. Infrax Systems is
a security and networking “pure play” offering a series of
interrelated operational management, communications, and grid
security related products and services known as Secure
Intelligent Energy Platform (SIEP).
There are multiple levels to the Infrax platform that serve
all the needs of smart grid users to maximize efficiency and
provide complete security. This is no minor task as utility
networks need to be able to connect billions of devices while
maintaining security and reliability within the grid. SIEP™
incorporates a wide array of communications, security, device
and data management tools for Smart Grid applications such as
advanced metering solutions and grid optimization. Infrax's
secure smart grid platform incorporates a communications
transport known as GridMesh™, device and data security
management known as GRiM.
While many companies are still working on smart grid
technologies, Infrax is forward-thinking and has taken the
idea of a “smart grid” one step further into what the Company
calls a “SECURE GRID” by combining all the important
requirements into one package. Infrax products operate to
provide the secure two-way communications that are a
fundamental of the network and the smart meters (a series of
sensors and devices that are the lifeblood of smart grid
systems to control electric demand) along with threat
detection, grid optimization and security all in a
state-of-the-art one-stop solution for end to end grid
management.
Additionally, Infrax recently announced the availability of
the UMAX wireless communications links. The UMAX product line
provides highly survivable redundant wireless links to augment
fiber and copper communications, as mandated by the North
American Energy Reliability Corporation (NERC). In 2007, the
U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) granted NERC
the legal authority to enforce reliability standards with all
users, owners and operators of the bulk power system in the
United States, and made compliance with those standards
mandatory and enforceable. NERC Standards require certain
classifications of utility substations to be equipped with
redundant, robust communications capability to improve the
reliability of the electric Grid. In short, as the government
keeps mandating stronger requirement for performance and
security, Infrax is prepared to provide the solutions to the
utility and energy companies for which these mandates are
targeted.
When it comes to a management team, Infrax has gone straight
to the heart of the matter and appointed Ely Kahn, former
Director of Cyber-Security Policy for the National Security
Staff of the Executive Office of the President, to their Board
of Advisors. If there is anyone that is going to be at the
forefront on the cyber-security, this is the man. In order to
be appointed to any position White House related, it is
obvious that Mr. Kahn must have impeccable credentials. He has
an extensive history in cyber-security and risk management
that was honed during senior level positions such as Deputy
Chief of Staff for the National Protection and Programs
Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security and
Director of Risk Management and Strategic Innovation
Transportation Security Administration. Upon making the
decision to join the Infrax team, Mr. Kahn stated, "The threat
of cyber-attacks is real and the future security of our energy
grid will rely on products developed by companies like Infrax
Systems."
When researching companies, we not only look for the main
focus of the company, but we also evaluate other aspects of
each company that can generate future revenues and overall
business growth plans. Infrax expanded recently through the
acquisition of Trimax Wireless. This acquisition opened the
doors for Infrax to design and implement wireless networks in
developing countries in continuation of the former Trimax
Wireless strategy. Further complementing this activity Infrax
plans to continue to target wireless ISP's and carriers and
market all their current wireless voice, security and data
communications products.
With regards to revenues, Infrax has exhibited growth that can
only be construed as impressive. On an unaudited consolidated
basis with Trimax, the revenues in the year ending June 30,
2010 increased by over 10,000% to over $1.16 million (provided
that the companies would have been consolidated for the full
year). During this period, total liabilities and stockholder
equity increased from $206 thousand to over $7.1 million,
representing a 3500% increase. Infrax has placed preliminary
projections to achieve $6 million dollars in revenue for the
year ending June 30, 2011.
The Company has also recently dabbled in the mobile field with
the announcement of an encrypted, secure communications device
based on Google's Android platform for mobile voice and data
applications. The secure phone is currently available on the
HTC Desire phones and adds to the portfolio of security
related products for Smart Grid applications previously
announced by Infrax.
In the modern business environment people regularly discuss
and transmit sensitive and confidential information on cell
phones. This poses great threats to business secrecy,
executive safety, financial transaction confidentiality or
even homeland security. Interception technology is cheap and
widely accessible and can be easily purchased over the
Internet. Those individuals intent on industrial and corporate
espionage possess the tools needed to attack the
confidentiality of mobile voice and data communication.
The Android based secure phone will provide users with the
ability to securely manage voice calls and data. The secure
phone uses a peer-to-peer connection for communicating between
devices, thereby eliminating a central network hub for
potential eavesdroppers to aim a single point of attack.
Currently, the secure phone is available in three
configurations; Government, Industrial and Business.
Applications designed for Utilities will be available in the
near future. Additionally, Infrax can provide customized
applications to support remote monitoring of industrial and
business processes.
 Technically
speaking, the IFXY chart is in a great position for a
posible climb. A solid support level
has been established at $.005 and
another at $.006 as seen on the graphic to
the left. Furthermore, the price has climbed for the
last four days after briefly spending some time allowing the
indicators to align while the support strengthened. There is
no real strong resistance in the path of the share price until
it reaches the 200 day moving average at a penny and a half.
Given the fact that the stock price is still well below
52-week highs at $.13 and positioned for a potential climb,
technical traders will be taking a very close look at the IFXY
chart and an influx of volume is very possible as traders via
for entry positions.
If however things don't go as planned,
stop losses around the above mentioned support levels are good
ideas. However the best idea of all is to as always contact a
financial advisor prior to making any financial decisions and
to do your own due diligence.
Due to the complexities of the smart grids, it must be
understood that vulnerabilities exist that could potentially
be exploited on multiple levels which could result in
unparalleled damages. The effects of terrorism have been
witnessed with horror throughout the world for centuries and
the concept of what could be achieved through cyberterrorism
in this era of technology is something that the world would be
better served never seeing as the dynamic nature of power
grids could result in true catastrophe. Luckily, the world has
companies such as Infax Systems helping thwart any potential
intruders. It is for this reason as well as many others
described, that we at AllPennyStocks.com have turned our
attention on Infrax Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:IFXY) as our latest
U.S. Company spotlight and encourage investors to do their own
due diligence on the Company and add it to their watch lists.
