FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2002--Echelon Corporation (Nasdaq:ELON), the worldwide leader in networking everyday devices, announced that it is showcasing its leading position in the building automation industry at this year's light + building exhibition, 14 - 18 April, 2002 in Frankfurt, Germany. From the booth (Hall 9.2 Stand E10) Echelon will demonstrate the extensive, open, LonWorks(R) based building system implemented in its San Jose, California headquarters.
Attendees can directly control the environment of one of the offices in the company's headquarters over 10,000 kilometers away. Users are able to adjust temperature set points, change occupancy schedules, modify energy saving set-backs, and define lighting scenes. Echelon will also feature the company's first extensions to its i.LON (R) family of products. The i.LON 100 Server is aimed at use in medium sized commercial buildings and for managing multiple LonWorks networks from central locations and the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is targeted at home owners, property managers and maintenance technicians, allowing them to monitor and control everyday devices using standard web browsers -- at home, at work or on the road.
In the more than 550 square meter LonWorks pavilion, Echelon and the LNO Organization (the German LonUsers(R) International user organization), together with over 50 partners, will demonstrate how LonWorks networks have become a de facto standard in building automation. Products and solutions will be shown from the areas of lighting, room control, energy management, heating, air-conditioning, ventilation, security, access control, sensor control, door control, remote control, system integration, and visualization, to name just a few. Additionally, many of the companies represented in the LonWorks pavilion have their own exhibit spaces located nearby.
Daily presentations will showcase LonWorks installations and solutions from around the world. Behind-the-scene details will be given on why LonWorks technology was chosen over other technologies. Round table discussions will also be held allowing you to witness first-hand the ways in which system integrators have addressed the different technologies, and why LonWorks networks come out on top. Presentations will range from general to technical and address both the novice and professional audiences.
A true display of the strength that LonWorks networks have around the globe is demonstrated by the list of worldwide companies exhibiting alongside Echelon at this year's fair. These companies include: ABB Gebaudetechnik AG, AGEKO GmbH, APICE s.r.l., Boos Klima + Kalte GmbH, B+R Elektro-Steuerungstechnik GmbH, Comtec Technologie, Delmatic Ltd., Gebr. Trox GmbH, Gesytec GmbH, Gruner AG, Heimeier GmbH & Co. KG, Hermos Informatik, HGI mbH, Horburger & Partner, Honeywell AG, Huppe Form GmbH, Kieback & Peter GmbH & Co.

About Echelon Corporation
Echelon Corporation is the creator of the LonWorks platform, the world's most widely used standard for connecting everyday devices such as appliances, thermostats, air conditioners, electric meters, and lighting systems to each other and to the Internet. Echelon's hardware and software products enable manufacturers and integrators to create smart devices and systems that lower cost, increase convenience, improve service, and enhance productivity, quality, and safety. Thousands of companies have developed and installed more than 18 million LonWorks based devices into homes, buildings, factories, trains, and other systems worldwide.
The protocol underlying LonWorks networks and the signaling used by Echelon's power line and free topology transceivers have both been adopted as standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Echelon is also a founding member of the LonMark(R) Interoperability Association, an open industry forum of hundreds of leading manufacturers, integrators, and users dedicated to promoting the use of interoperable LonWorks devices.
