On this episode of “Simplifying Life Through Technology,” Mark, Michelle, and Andrew sit down with Eric Crawford, President of IFP Connect.

As Founder of IFP Connect and former smart home integrator, Eric joins us to explore why fiber is redefining the backbone of modern home technology. As homes today average over 150 connected devices — from smart TVs to irrigation systems — traditional cabling can no longer keep up.

Eric breaks down the limitations of category cable, which sees spec changes roughly every 20 months, versus the long-term stability and bandwidth capacity of fiber infrastructure. We discuss how fiber not only supports today's needs, but anticipates tomorrow’s — from true 4K content delivery to the growing demand for wireless access points that still rely on wired backbones.

IFP Connect’s patented fiber-to-copper platform offers integrators and builders a smarter, faster, and more efficient installation process — all while setting up clients with a future-proof network foundation. Whether you're building new, planning a renovation, or simply want to understand where residential tech is headed, this conversation offers eye-opening insight into why fiber isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a necessity.
