RE: ELON competition

Thanks Kona for clarifying. I should have said, many of ELON's competitors' architectures are closed.

<<It is not a "chip based" protocol like LonWorks, it is a software-based protocol.>>

Thanks for pointing that out as well. The Neuron Chip is a key proprietary component used in ELON's customers' control networks. So while the architecture remains open, ELON still receives license income and royalty payments on some aspects of its proprietary architecture. Sounds like the best of both worlds.

My point is ELON's open architecture strategy should not only fuel the growth of LonWorks, but further position it as a compelling industry standard.

BTW, swig: I was referring to pg. 52 of TFM.
