* The “Meet our technology” section is normally reserved for regional technology, but from time-to-time we see technology that is used in the region which may not be regional, presented from a user or the technology without the vendor present or supporting. If you know of innovative uses of technology in the region which may be showcased here, contact ian.feldman@houstontx.gov and lach.mullen@houstontx.gov and we will make arrangements for an internal demonstration, if appropriate.
