Avnet Memec takes on Echelon
The addition of Echelon’s products fits Avnet Memec’s building automation, managed street lighting, and renewable energy market efforts with the LonWorks networking platform.
Avnet Memec stated that offering Echelon’s line of networking products will allow us it forge strong and fruitful relationships with the existing LonWorks community, and bring Echelon’s technology to a broad range of new customers.
It sees the market for energy control networking as ‘huge’, and believes that the ability of Echelon’s technology to work across many applications and industries puts Avnet Memec in a strong market position; giving it a unified network solution offering with the flexibility and power to meet most any customer need. Echelon says it is seeing an increase in interest in how control networks enable energy management strategies, adding it all begins with what’s designed into a device.
Its relationship with Avnet is expected to take the market for LonWorks networking-enabled products to a new level, and especially so in the vertical segments of building automation, street lighting, and renewables.
