• Smart Access/Core Tec Communications Company Christmas Party 2005

  
  

  Great Party! Lot’s of fun and good cheer Below are pictures of our Florida employees having a good time and sharing special time together at Ali Baba’s Restaurant (Persian cuisine) in Longwood, Florida. It was appropriate to eat at Ali Baba’s as Mehdi and his family are Persian from Iran. Great food, great company and lot’s of fun!
  
  Smart Access designs and manufactures Door Access security systems, primarily for airports, but also for courthouses, government operations centers as well as other commercial enterprises. Core Tec Communications designs and manufactures video CODEC systems, primarily for the transportation industry such as Maryland DOT (Dept. of Trans.), Texas DOT, and more. I am blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of these two companies.
