Echelon Displays Future of Ubiquitous Control Networking from Sensors to Enterprise Management at LonWorld 2005(Paris, France - October 20, 2005) - Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON), the leading technology supplier for the widely-used LonWorks® control networking standard, is showcasing its control platform solutions and Networked Energy Services (NES) smart metering system at the LonWorld® 2005 event October 20-21 at Euro Disney. The company is debuting several new products at the event close on the heels of introducing its new Pyxos™ embedded control networking platform. Collectively, the new products, platform, and upgrades to existing products are designed to move the market closer to the ubiquitous deployment of control networking. Echelon's new technologies and products focus on reducing or improving the key factors that can enable ubiquitous control networking – lower component costs; simpler, easier installation; high reliability, scalability and flexibility; and remote management. "Echelon delivers technology that impacts the way we live, work and play. Our control networking and embedded platforms are well on their way to becoming omnipresent in everyday life, connecting common machines to each other and the Internet for reasons ranging from significant energy savings to increased safety, comfort and convenience," said Ken Oshman, Echelon's CEO and chairman. "Our new Pyxos embedded control platform further extends that power by solving cost, assembly, and connectivity problems that previously constrained manufacturers from adding advanced control technology to their products. What we're showing at LonWorld 2005 is another major step toward making control networking ubiquitous and an expression of our strategic approach to expanding this market – achieved through continual reductions in the cost and complexity of our technology while increasing their power and utility and new product development." Key demonstrations and products at LonWorld 2005 include:
"In order for control networking to become ubiquitous, we need solutions and technologies that are cost effective, easy to use in all markets, and can truly link the devices found in any industry into control applications," said Oshman. "Our demonstrations and introductions show that we continue to move aggressively toward that goal."
