Your network is the essential backbone of yoursmart home, carrying security, control data, and your entertainment content. Ensuring that you have the security and bandwidth to accommodate a modern home’s need is critical—especially when it comes to streaming. 

How we view contenthas changed dramatically over the last few years.It has only been15 years since YouTube came to fame when the infamous Saturday Night Live short “Lazy Sunday” was posted. Netflix, which started as a by-mail DVD rental business, opened their streaming service in 2007, with Hulu following just a few months later.  

Today streaming content is the dominant delivery platform for television shows, original content, and a growing number of first-release movies. Hub Entertainment Research shows that the big four services (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney+) all experienced at least three-point growth in 2020.  

Universal acceptance of streaming content required the creation of high-speed broadband to deliver content reliably. Unfortunately, too many home network installations like the one in your Springfield, MO home are not built to maximize this content. To find out how we can help you improve your network, read more below. 

Music is powerful magic, with the power to soothe the soul, inspire creativity, and excite the senses. The creation of the song and the collective energy is deeply rooted in the human condition, with bone and ivory flutes found dating back 43,000 years. Plato found it to be the ultimate inspiration, saying: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”  

The modern world allows us to access any genre, from anywhere in the world, at the touch of a button. The whole-home audio system you use should deliver the same passion and respect the music deserves.  A professionally installed and calibrated system brings your songs to life, filling your Springfield, MO house with deep, resonant, and clear audio.
