Pioneer 1847: Pointer telegraph

Facts & benefits

 Construction of a reliable pointer telegraph by
electrically synchronizing the transmitter and
receiver
 Vastly superior to previous equipment because it no
longer works like a clock mechanism
 Transmission of messages by pressing a rotating
needle on the transmitter to stop it on the letter to be
transmitted
 Range of about 50 kilometers
 Use of electric batteries for the power supply
 Apparatus made of cigar boxes, tin plate, pieces of
iron and insulated copper wire

The pointer telegraph revolutionizes modern communications by providing
reliable message transmission over long distances

Pioneer 2015: Smart grid

Facts & Benefits

 Smart grid is an integrated bidirectional transmission
system for the delivery of electricity using digital
technologies
 The system optimizes efficiency, while balancing
electricity prices and fluctuations caused by an increased
feed-in of renewable energy sources
 Siemens’ strength lies in the combination of its world
leading position in the fields of energy automation,
equipment manufacturing, offshore generation, HVDC
transmission etc.
 Potential risks:
- Market volume relatively small today
- Competition intensifies as new competitors move into
the market

Involving the entire electricity production and distribution chain, Siemens is the
only company having a comprehensive portfolio to master the smart grid
challenge
