Residential Systems

Now more than ever

On a similar note, it was refreshing to see an article in the New York Times last month extolling the virtues of the networked home and quoting several representatives of CEDIA.

.... This time, not only were CEDIA principals, Jeff Hoover and Ray Lepper, quoted in the Times article, but also cited were Parks Associates, Integrated Media Systems in Virginia and control technology manufacturer, Smart Systems.  Kudos to all these folks for leading by example.

From the editorial "Now more than ever," by Jeremy Glowacki.
