Re wireless:

"Finland is known worldwide for being a technology pioneer," said Beatrice Yormark, Echelon's vice president of sales and marketing. "We are delighted to be named as a Finnish home networking standard. As it has done for mobile phones and the Internet, we expect Finland to point the way for the rest of the world by selecting LONWORKS networks as the standard for networking everyday devices in the home."

"As a widely adopted, open, interoperable solution, LONWORKS networks are the perfect choice for our preferred national home automation standard," says Erkki Aalto, Program Manager at RAKLI. "LONWORKS networks offer tremendous flexibility and possibilities for applications in the home market. For example, with Echelon's new i.LON? 1000 Internet Server, home automation can be monitored and managed via the Internet. Online access is now available via wireless application protocol (WAP) cellular phones. Given the Finns' love of cell phones and the Internet, we will soon see people on the streets of Helsinki controlling their homes through their mobile phones."

Finland is the most wired country in the world and the WAP protocol is about to be standardized for the industry...in technology, as Finland goes--so goes Europe.
