Raytheon Control-By-Light to Provide Distributed Fiber Optic Networking Products to Electronic Systems USA, Inc 

SUDBURY, Mass., - Raytheon Control-By-Light^TM, a part of the Commercial Electronics Division of Raytheon Company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Electronic Systems USA, Inc (ESUSA), the nation's leading supplier of multi-vendor products and services in the building automation industry, to distribute fiber optic products aimed specifically at the commercial building market.

The partnership between Raytheon and ESUSA will promote the sales of Raytheon's complete family of fiber optic technology solutions in combination with ESUSA's Lon-based NexSys^R product line. NexSys is the first complete LonWorks^R-based building automation systems solution for integrating multi-vendor systems.

"ESUSA is a recognized leader in multi-vendor automation services, and is helping to bring facilities into the 21st century by integrating the latest technology with existing systems," said Brian Morrison, director of Raytheon Control-By-Light. "We believe that fiber optics represents the next generation of automation solutions."

Raytheon developed the industry's first fiber optic products based on Echelon LonWorks interoperable standards and has patented technology that lets a single bi-direction fiber optic cable communicate in two directions. Previously, commercially available fiber optic cable transmitted messages only one way at a time. 

The benefits of Raytheon's patented bi-directional, distributed sensing technology is a more cost effective networking solution that uses fewer cables and connections, cutting the cost of a fiber-based LonWorks building automation network in half. In addition, Raytheon's fiber optic systems are both tamper proof and immune to electrical interference, high voltages, crosstalk and lightning.
