Adesto IoT Standard will Speed Adoption of LON Technology in Building and Industrial Automation

Adesto Technologies Corp. announced that the new ANSI/CTA 709.7 LON® IP protocol, recently approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), will speed further adoption of LON technology and continue to expand the LonWorks ecosystem.

The new standard enables native LON communication over any IP transport such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, as well as interoperability with IP-based web services so that building and industrial automation systems can seamlessly and securely interoperate with cloud and IoT applications.

Adesto, through its recent acquisition of Echelon, collaborated with other LonMark International members to drive development and standardization of the new LON IP protocol, which describes the complete set of requirements for users, developers, vendors, integrators and specifiers of open building and industrial control systems to develop LON devices with native IP transport. As building and industrial control networks must handle ever-expanding datasets and additional IoT application interfaces, IP communications can provide higher speeds, greater bandwidth and increased flexibility.

LON IP builds on the rich device management and control services of the LON technology implemented in over 150 million devices across all critical industrial markets, including building automation, smart grid, lighting controls, transportation and manufacturing equipment.
