History

Established in 1984.

In the convention industry, Smart City Networks’ experience is extensive. Over 25 years ago, our company began at the Houston Astrodomain Complex as Centel Facilities Communications. We were the first company both to recognize the importance of telecommunications for the exhibitor experience at convention centers and to focus our mission on making superior service delivery a reality. In the late 1980s, we expanded our business through exclusive contracts with major convention centers in Anaheim, Houston, Los Angeles and Charlotte. By the early 1990s, the company had been sold to Wiltel Communications and renamed Facilities Communications International, handled all of the technology requirements for the 1990 World Economic Summit and 1992 Republican National Convention. In January 1995, the company was purchased by its present owners, telecommunications entrepreneurs with successful backgrounds in cable television, Internet and wireless businesses throughout the country.
