SCN: What prompted you to establish RoomReady, and when did you open your doors?
Aaron McArdle: I started a low-voltage/communications division for an electrical contractor (Zeller Electric) in 2002. I bought them out and spun off as a separate company in 2007 (Zeller Digital Innovations). The Zeller brothers were getting close to retirement planning, and the investments I wanted them to make in the business were not part of their plan. I wanted to aggressively grow the business through investment in different technologies, leveraging Ethernet and taking advantage of network topologies in new low-voltage systems applications.
