September 3, 2007—Echelon Corporation, a leading provider of networking technology that is used to create and manage automation systems, has announced that its technology has been incorporated in a market leading sound masking system, Spectra i.Net(TM) from Lencore Acoustics Corp.
Sound masking uses sophisticated electronics to gently raise background sound levels to reduce the intelligibility of speech, increasing employee privacy and reducing noise-induced stress in typical work environments. Lencore’s Spectra i.Net system uses Echelon’s i.LON Internet server platform to allow remote connectivity to the system to make system adjustments to the masking sound level, and as a means of integrating the system to existing LonWorks based building automation systems.
Lencore’s Spectra i.Net system meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for speech privacy and is used by many Fortune 500 companies around the world.
