A top lighting engineer who has been instrumental in developing wireless Internet of Things (IoT) systems for pioneer Gooee has left the company to take up a similar mission in the wired world, joining enModus, a Welsh startup that specializes in routing smart lighting controls and data over existing electricity lines.

Couch oversees end-to-end delivery and deployment at customer sites of the enModus technology, known generically as powerline communication (PLC).
