The ECN runs Echelon’s Control Operating System (COS) software, which provides distributed intelligence and control throughout the smart grid and allows utilities to run smart grid applications at the edge of the grid, nearest the consumer. “Verizon Wireless (Verizone Wireless) supports Echelon in its effort to provide smart grid infrastructures that allow utilities to leverage existing, reliable, wireless networks instead of burdening rate-payers with private backhaul networks,” said Aparna Khurjekar, executive director, business solutions at Verizon Wireless (/Verizone Wireless).

Echelon’s ECN, driven by COS software, is capable of hosting smart grid apps in a similar fashion to Android-based smartphones.
