Quotes:
"As soon as we announced we were doing Hands-on Labs
for our IzoT platform, the response was fantastic. Clearly, there's a
huge need for what Echelon's IzoT platform provides, which is a bridge
from the pre-IP world of industrial devices to a more interconnected,
IP-enabled world--but without sacrificing the reliability, security or
rugged operations required for industrial device settings, and without
big costs or hassles."
