2. The IzoT Platform: What Echelon Provides
Echelon’s platform for the Industrial Internet of Things is the IzoT™ Platform. The name “IzoT” is derived from “IIoT”. The platform enables devices to form communities, where the devices in a community interact directly with each other without requiring servers, routers, or head-end applications. That is the peer-to-peer control portion of the platform. The devices are all IP-enabled, and as a result the platform also enables devices to communicate with applications and cloud-based services through routers.
Echelon provides three types of products for the IzoT Platform.
First are chips, software stacks, and modules for developing IzoT-enabled devices. Options are provided for both wired and wireless connectivity, providing the flexibility for each application to choose the best media or combination of media.
Second are routers for interconnecting different IP links, and for serving Web pages and interfacing to Web applications.
Third is software for providing management software and commissioning tools for larger networks.
OEM advantages: One architecture drives New use cases, Fewer SKUs, Fast time–to–market

REST Server
Network Server
Provides IzoT REST API for Web page and enterprise application development
Enables device and datapoint discovery, for example: GET /api/devices
Supports reading and writing datapoints, for example: GET /api/datapoints?name=temperature
In addition to the device stacks, there is also a server stack that is available as a free download, and is also included on the IzoT Router. The server stack provides a REST API for use by Web pages and enterprise applications. A Web page or application can discover all devices in an IzoT network with a single REST request, shown here. It can also read and write datapoints or groups of datapoints with a single request. The second example shows how a Web page can get all the current temperature values.
