These products will be integrated by members of Echelon's Open System Alliance, a group of companies dedicated to advancing the market for open, standards-based, interoperable device networks based on LonMark certified products and the LNS control system architecture. Our intent is to create a building that uses the LonWorks platform to lower cost, increase comfort, and improve operation.
Echelon is a most welcome addition to our area.
The neighborhood where the new headquarters will be located is ready to be modernized, and Echelon's new building fits perfectly into our plans to make this area the latest, best location for companies in the heart of Silicon Valley. It will be a wonderful demonstration of the technological innovation for which this area is world-famous. Members of the Open System Alliance will perform the integration of LonWorks products in Echelon's new headquarters. System integrators and design vendors will be chosen sometime this summer. Echelon's new headquarters provides us with a unique opportunity to merge the best in building construction and design with world-leading automation technology.
