 # Particle
 
-The Particle Photon is a Wi-Fi connected microcontroller from Particle (http://particle.io), the company formerly known as Spark Devices. Once it connects to a Wi-Fi network, it automatically connects with a central server (the "Particle Cloud") and stays connected so it can be controlled from external systems, such as a Gobot program. To run gobot programs please make sure you are running default tinker firmware on the Photon.
+The Particle Photon and Particle Electron are connected microcontrollers from Particle (http://particle.io), the company formerly known as Spark Devices. The Photon uses a Wi-Fi connection to the Particle cloud, and the Electron uses a 3G wireless connection. Once the Photon or Electron connects to the network, it automatically connects with a central server (the "Particle Cloud") and stays connected so it can be controlled from external systems, such as a Gobot program. To run Gobot programs please make sure you are running default Tinker firmware on the Photon or Electron.
