Charting Echelon’s Meandering Journey to EnOcean
In February 1988, in Palo Alto, California, a startup company was founded by Armas Clifford “Mike” Markkula Jr. the grandson of a Finnish immigrant to the US. That company, Echelon Technology, would go on to develop the LON protocol, and help pioneer the evolution of open standard networking platforms, making a big contribution to the IoT […]
An Unfortunate Supply Chain of Events
“The global electronics and semiconductor industries are currently suffering the most serious disruptions to supply chain operations in living memory. Supply chain issues have been driven by a series of interrelated trends that have served to complicate, compound, and increase both the scale and impact of the challenge,” reads our latest research study. “These issues have […]
Giving Intelligence to Every Electrical EndPoint in Buildings

Outlets, switches, and circuit breakers have served their purpose well enough but have hardly changed in over half a century. Like the shift from conventional light bulbs to LED, the buildings’ conventional electrical infrastructure has been waiting for a disruptive technology that […]
The Importance of Intellectual Property (IP) in LED Lighting
The biggest companies in the lighting and semiconductor industries collectively hold hundreds of patents relating to areas including raw materials, chip fabrication, packaging and associated “secondary emission” phosphor processes which turn blue light into white. IP development is a cornerstone of the competitiveness of this industry. A key strategy for survival is to out-innovate the […]
