In the early days of the Internet when few knew how to make it work, he was out front with network designers designing simple and practical ways to use this new technology. Whether it was the early days of Voice calls over the Internet, running high quality HD video over Internet networks in Professional Sports stadiums, creating massive Wi Fi coverage in congested areas, Stuart was there with the experts figuring out the best way to make it work. Before smartphones and Smart Homes existed, home networks were still complex to get working for the average non-technical person. Stuart led the charge to create a simple software package that guided even the most novice user to set up their own networks. While this software ended up in millions of homes over time, there is a whole new and simpler way to navigate the complexities of building and running a Smart Home as outlined in the "How to Make Your Home a Smart Home" book.
