SUNNYVALE, CA — Echelon Corp. has signed a joint project agreement with AT&T that will lead to global networking solutions for everyday devices networked with Echelon’s LonWorks® technology. Under the agreement, existing LonWorks device networks will be able to dial into AT&T’s global remote access network and be connected to the user’s LNS™-based applications that operate at client locations or in the network itself.
Direct access from LonWorks networks to AT&T’s global network will allow users to monitor and control their LonWorks networked devices with a local phone call from virtually anywhere in the world, the companies said.
