Having all these folks in one place is a blessing for attendees who are interested in finding out what's new in building automation and controls. Not only is it convenient, it saves on foot travel. And at this year's expo, manufacturers in aisles 1000 to 2500 inside the Anaheim Convention Center had plenty of new products to show off.
Echelon (www.echelon.com), for instance, showcased three of its newest products. It said its new i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server is designed for peer-based, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications across any IP connection, such as corporate LANs, the Internet, or IP-based WANs. According to the company, its newest server provides secure, reliable routing among LonWorks-based devices.
