September 28, 2017

Smart City Networks, which provides digital signage, Wi-Fi and phone services to convention centers, has installed a system to monitor telecommunications networks throughout 39 convention centers across the U.S., according to a company press release.

Powered by the SolarWinds Orion Platform, the service will provide faster reporting of errors than previous tools, according to the release.

"When there is an issue on the tradeshow floor, we'll know instantly," David Langford, vice president of technology for Smart City Networks, said in the release. "We'll be able to activate our technical support team immediately to start working on a resolution. This new system will provide peace of mind for our facility partners and for the thousands of meeting and event planners who utilize their facilities each year."
