We'll help you stay in control—of your network, your business, your world.
Echelon is a pioneer and world leader in control networks, which connect machines and other electronic devices; embedded control networks, which are networks inside machines that connect tiny sensors and actuators that comprise the workings of a machine, and smart metering, a next-generation utility infrastructure for automated metering and other utility services.

The LonWorks Platform
We created the LonWorks platform, an extremely robust, flexible, and expandable standards-based control networking platform upon which manufacturers can build products and applications with unparalleled reliability, security, operational integrity, flexibility, and bottom-line value. Hundreds of millions of people have experienced a LonWorks based network: They're used everywhere to create control applications that make our lives more comfortable, convenient, and safe. From the Louvre, to the New York City subway system, to Rhoponghi Hills in Tokyo, to Coeur Défense in Paris, to parking at Trei Park in Rome, millions of people every day reap the benefits of control systems based on our LonWorks control networking platform.

The Pyxos Platform
On September 19th, 2005, we introduced the Pyxos Embedded Control Networking Platform and showed the world a new type of network: embedded control networks. The Pyxos platform puts the power of control networks inside of machines, adding functionality while driving down costs. The components of the platform are so small that new applications can be created in areas that were never before considered for a network. Think smart uniforms, smart carpeting, or smart furniture. While a LonWorks network connects boxes, a Pyxos network puts Thinking Inside the Box™.

The NES System
As of August 2005, over 25 million homes in Italy were connected to a smart energy infrastructure using our power line signaling technology. We leveraged the expertise we gained working with Italy's electricity utility and introduced a completely new smart metering solution for utilities called the NES System. Besides being an open automated meter-reading system, NES can be used for additional energy and operational needs and services such as pre-paid energy, energy quality monitoring and reporting, and outage and theft detection.

We supply over 90 products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), systems integrators, and value-added resellers (VARs) from offices in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, and The Netherlands, as well as channel partners throughout the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Echelon is publicly traded on the NASDAQ market under the symbol ELON.
