All rights reserved.Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) announced today that the City of Palo Alto is demonstrating smart, energy efficient streetlights based on Echelon's LonWorks® technology. The City aims to reduce energy and maintenance costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, while improving light quality. Currently, the city's 6,300 streetlights cost around $700,000 annually in energy and maintenance costs. Streetlights networked with Echelon's intelligent controls make the lights themselves smarter. The lights are able to communicate with maintenance and management software. They can also be remotely dimmed, monitored and controlled. The combination of command and control for individual lights and an ability to communicate with expert systems can reduce a city's energy consumption, light pollution levels, and the operating and maintenance costs associated with streetlights.http://www.echelon.com/company/press/2009/paloaltostreetlights.htmThu, 02 Jul 2009 13:00:00 GMTEchelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) announced today that its LonWorks® technology is being used in solar energy installations by SMA America, Inc., a subsidiary of Germany-based SMA Solar Technology AG, the world leader in solar inverter technology. Echelon's i.LON® SmartServer, equipped with communications drivers for SMA's inverters, is used to monitor the health of and measure the electricity generated by the panels in a solar array for service, reporting, and verification purposes – helping to maintain their efficient operation. SMA is using the i.LON SmartServer with their Sunny Central 250U and Sunny Tower inverters.http://www.echelon.com/company/press/2009/sma.htmTue, 02 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GMTEchelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) and 10 partners are showcasing LonWorks® based energy saving and control applications at the 2009 LumiVille event, May 26-28 in Lyon, France. LumiVille is the premier exhibition in Europe dedicated to external and public lighting. Networked streetlights are a hot market segment with the addition of smart control technology because they extend the smart grid to one of the core pieces of a city's infrastructure – adding energy intelligence, better manageability, and improved safety.http://www.echelon.com/company/press/2009/lumiville09.htmTue, 26 May 2009 13:00:00 GMTEchelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
