But one basic question. From what I see LON is tied together by wires. What is the wireless aspect - if any? good question.....i am not certain how the wireless control network will be worked in. i will keep an eye out for info that.

Cha2: elon wireless taken from their PR re: Finland. "....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." echelon.com In an email to me ELON's IR confirmed that Ericcson is a customer. As for devices "lontalking" to each other wirelessly, I have no direct link at this time, but this must be a sure thing, imo, as the wireless buildout continues. I understand that a co. called Coactive Networks is providing 3Coms home networking products, which are built on a Lontalk Platform. I haven't checked to see if their offerings are wired or wireless.
