This week on the CE Pro Podcast, we talk to a pair of executives from leading custom-channel providers about some industry segments that have become especially pressing during the coronavirus lockdown.

First up on the CE Pro Podcast, Hagai Feiner, founder and CEO of Access Networks, addresses numerous aspects of selling, designing and installing home networks.

The pandemic has put a significant strain on the publics home bandwidth as people work from home and in many cases share their network with children who are educating from home and meanwhile the entire family is now spending much more time streaming music, movies and more.

Last week on the podcast we heard from FulTech Solutions Dan Fulmer about how his integration company has handled this increased demand from customers. This week Feiner, whose company provides enterprise-grade solutions for the industry, continues the topic thread.

Stuck at home in his apartment, however, Feiner notes that residences of all sizes now have a greater need for reliable networks, no matter which manufacturers are providing them.

All brands are experiencing this, Feiner notes. Because even if you have lets say an Access Networks system deployed in your house, just like I do, this area when all this started and the lockdown in California [where Feiner lives] started last month I even felt the challenge with my network because this is an apartment where we moved into, its a rental.

We put the network in that we brought from our old house, didnt really think about it, theres no wiring here so theres one access point downstairs and guess what, all my conferences are up here in my master bedroom and video doesnt transmit that well because of the issues in this apartment.

There are plenty of lessons to be learned, no matter the size of the clienteles house, as Feiner explains during the segment.

Meanwhile, CE pros are always more confident selling and installing systems when they know they can lean on their suppliers support staff.

Every year, CE Pro doles out its Quest for Quality Awards to manufacturers and distributors in various categories of support services. Our awards nominees come straight from the horses mouths, so to speak, as they are compiled from votes and testimonials by our readers (integrators).

Audio manufacturer AudioControl has managed to cultivate a technical support team thats been singled out by readers in multiple years of the awards program, which is now in its 10th year. In the second segment of the CE Pro Podcast, CEO Alex Camara details some of the ways his company has created such a service-first environment.

Its particularly in focus now as dealers adjust to the evolving business climate that the coronavirus has dealt society while integrators continue to operate as essential workers.

Whats helped for us, I think, is having a manufacturing base here in the United States up here in Seattle, Camara says.

Were able to react really quickly to what appear to be urgent needs. A lot of projects have been delayed I think everyones seeing that but theres a lot of urgent work thats appearing, whether its somebody cant get a product from somebody else, whether its a failure in a home office system or in a commercial facility so were really responding and building, literally day by day, to the needs.

A two-alarm blaze ripped through a home in Brighton Friday morning, causing over half a million dollars in damage, injuring one firefighter, and displacing seven residents, fire officials said.

Around 8:30 a.m., about 55 firefighters responded to a report of heavy fire erupting from 39 Snow St., according to Boston fire spokesman Brian Alkins. A second alarm was ordered when the flames began spreading to nearby homes.

A video posted to the departments Twitter account showed 39 Snow St. engulfed in flames, smoke billowing into the sky, as firefighters worked to control the raging inferno.

[Firefighters] had to deal with low overhead wires from street, close quarters, and the building was set back from the road, Alkins said. They did a great job under those conditions to keep the fire from spreading.

The fire was extinguished by 9 a.m., Alkins said.

Seven residents were displaced, officials said. One firefighter reported minor injuries, and no occupants were injured.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, Alkins said.

I think that she wishes things would have been different, he said.

Pleasant as the talk was, Stephens said it doesnt change anything Murphysboro and Kinkaid lakes will not be opening Friday.

When asked what caused the confusion, Stephens said it was his understanding there were two internal IDNR lists the list with the parks to open Friday and a list of parks to open at a later date. The IDNR officials who initially said Kinkaid Lake and Lake Murphysboro would be open had referenced the wrong list.

Stephens said he encouraged Callahan to open more parks.

People will seek out these outdoor recreational activities and they will seek them out where they can and they will seek them out as locally as they can, Stephens said. His theory was that with more parks open, it might spread crowds out more. As it stands, though, Murphysboro residents will have to go to Giant City in Carbondale to visit a state park. At least for a while.

Code Sunshine is a welcome birthday gift: After being admitted for COVID-19 to Mercy Hospital South on his daughters birthday, April 2, Bill finally went home last week with his wife, Lynn on his own 68th birthday. Bill, a COVID-19 patient who only wanted to provide his first name, spent three weeks at Mercy Hospital South, with a week on a ventilator and two weeks in intensive care. He was treated with convalescent plasma donated by someone recovered from COVID-19. Mercy South calls a Code Sunshine to celebrate with COVID-19 patients as they leave the hospital. After Bill left through the lobby with Lynn to cheers from workers lining the halls, some of his nurses and therapists signed his shirt with their motto Stayin Alive.

After two weeks in intensive care and a week on a ventilator, a Mercy Hospital South patient headed home last week on his birthday, his coronavirus battle behind him. After being admitted on his daughters birthday, April 2, the patient, who only wanted to be identified by his first name Bill, left through the lobby with his wife, Lynn, to cheers from workers lining the halls on his 68th birthday April 23.

Bill was treated with convalescent plasma donated by someone who had recovered from COVID-19. The Army veteran plans to repay that kindness by donating his own plasma when he meets the requirements.

My donors a very special person, Bill said, choking up. He kind of saved my life in a way, the physical way, and then I had my family and my friends and all the hospital staff that has supported me mentally and physically through all this isolation.

May I have your attention, please? Code sunshine, code sunshine.

Mercy South 'Code Sunshine' call

Mercy South calls a Code Sunshine to celebrate COVID-19 patients as they leave. The entire hospital hears, May I have your attention, please? Code sunshine, code sunshine. Bill said his nurses and doctors at Mercy South were extraordinary people and compared the fight they face every day to his six years in the U.S. Army.

These people have to keep on on the battlefronts and be strong and take care of people so they can get through this also, he said. Dont give up if you get this virus, its a fight but dont ever give up. And if you do contract it, these people at this hospital and the nursing staff will absolutely take care of you.

For birthday plans, Bill said he was going to just have some peace and quiet, be with my bride just chill out and just not have a bunch of wires on me, oxygen on me and just celebrate my birthday.

Francisco Villalobos Casillas runs the LA DWP upholstery shop, which has been repurposed to sew hundreds of fire-resistant masks each day for workers who tend high-tension power lines. (Courtesy LA DWP)

When your job is repairing high-tension electrical wires, state work safety laws say you need a fire-resistant mask these pandemic days. But masks made with special fabric to resist sparks are in desperately short supply.

To outfit its workers, the L.A. Department of Water and Power got creative.

Dave Hanson, assistant director of power, construction and maintenance for the utility, oversees some 3,000 employees who climb power poles and work on high tension wires. And it's not solitary work; there can be another person up in the cherry picker bucket.

So when Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a citywide order that people working around others must wear face coverings, it fell to Hanson's department to find a supply.

But where to get enough fire-resistant masks amid a national shortage?

"A lot of our orders that we placed were being redirected and rerouted to New York," the epicenter of all the protective equipment supply shortages, Hanson said. It could take weeks to get even the first order filled.

But then the light bulb switched on.

"We remembered we had an upholstery shop here at Main street," he said.

That's where Francisco Villalobos Casillas - the only upholsterer on the city payroll repairs car and truck seats.

"When they asked me if we can produce something in-house, I thought, yeah, I just need a few things," Villalobos Casillas said. One of those was fabric.

But Hanson said fire-resistant fabric was also in short supply. They ended up re-purposing a back-up supply of new work clothes.

"We cut up shirts and pants and handkerchiefs that we had in hand," Hanson said.

And now the DWP upholstery shop is turning out about 200 fire-resistant masks a day.

When DWP Needed Special Masks, DIY To The Rescue - LAist

The rescuers arrived at the scene of the fire within minutes of receiving the report, but the fire burned so fast no one could be rescued from the house, the prosecutor's office announced.

A 27-year-old woman, a 38-year-old man and three children, aged seven, three and one, died in the fire.Initial observations at the scene, suggesting that the fire could have started from behind the refrigerators.

The police initiated criminal proceedings to clarify the specific facts.The collected evidence and expertise revealed that the fire started from a fault in the electrical wiring behind one of the refrigerators and spread from there.

Tatjana Tamm, the district prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office, said unfortunately nothing will bring the victims back, but it is important for both the relatives and the public to know what led to such a serious accident.

"Unfortunately, in the case of fires, carbon monoxide, which is very toxic, reaches people before the fire. Even now, expert reports have identified carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death," she said.

No traces of smoke detectors were found at the scene and no information referring to smoke detectors was added during the criminal proceedings.

The cause of the fire was an electrical fault in the wiring behind the refrigerator.

"According to the expert, this fault may have been related to the extension cord socket, but why and how exactly this fault occurred is unfortunately unclear, because that is where the fire started and the equipment and the wires were very damaged, "said Tamm, adding that attention must be paid to fire safety in all homes.

Arvi Uustalu, the head of the prevention office of the Southern Rescue Center, said that regardless of the causes of the accident, a working and properly installed smoke detector would, in any case, have given an early warning of the fire and most likely saved lives.

The criminal proceedings were conducted by the Southern Prefecture under the leadership of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office.The examinations were performed by the Estonian Forensic Institute.
