When it comes to setting up solutions and installing products for clients, it's important to have that knowledge ingrained. Thankfully for the AV industry there are organizations like CEDIA to bring education and a level of quality to the space. Today we're joined by Ian Bryant, Vice President of Technology Application & Workforce Initiatives at CEDIA to discuss what the organization is doing to help the AV industry in this time of crisis. And of course being a live show, things start to fall apart. This inadvertently shows the importance of training and working under pressure!

Since everyone is in the home, Wi-Fi has been put to the test by working from home, streaming, and more from many different sources in the home.

We discuss the considerations to be made for your network and structure, and the viability of new technology like Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.

Like most popular media of the 2000s, Joe Whitaker's Thoughtful Thursdays show has been rebooted! However, its goal remains the same- To sit down with the many faces of our industry and discuss what AV is doing today.

This week we are joined by Vice President of Marketing for Luxul Mike Grubb, talking about the requirements for children as we go into the new school semester. A majority of classes will be online, which means networks will need to be as strong as ever as parents and children work from home. What can integrators do with value-based solutions to improve on the educational experience? We also learn about Luxul's own ProWatch cloud management solution designed to monitor and manage devices on the network and respond to potential problems proactively. And since it's tangentially related to kids, we also take a quick look at Epic's ongoing litigation against Apple for taking their hit game Fortnite off of the Apple store.
