Hear from Access Networks founder and CEO Hagai Feiner why the company is investing in RMR opportunities for dealers, live monitoring with help from Cenersys and providing eero to integrators.

While they didn't make our annual Quest for Quality Awards list, companies like AudioControl, Stewart Filmscreen, One Firefly, eero and others were passionately singled out by dealers in their Q4Q entries.

There can be pros to DIY networking products. With eero, dealers can monitor the network, allow parents additional control and count on fast, reliable Wi-Fi.

Eero's mesh-Wi-Fi networking solution is better than most consumer-grade routers and access points, but lacks key features that integrators will need for larger spaces and more demanding applications.

The home-technology integration channel could learn some things from DIY routers and apps, especially when it comes to industrial design.

CE Pro product editor Bob Archer makes his 12 picks of the most impressive products released in 2016. Brands include SnapAV, Onkyo, Stewart Filmscreen, Digital Projection, Sony, Monitor Audio, Phase Tech and more.
