The 2026 FIFA World Cup is Coming to Houston & Dallas:

Are We Ready for Security and Connectivity?

The countdown has begun. In just a short time, the eyes of the world will turn to Houston and Dallas, as Texas proudly hosts matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With millions of fans expected to attend, along with global media and international delegations, the event will bring incredible excitement — and significant challenges.

Large crowds, fan zones, and high-profile venues create unique public safety and IT demands. For city officials, IT managers, and business leaders near event zones, the question is urgent: are we prepared?

The Public Safety Challenge

Mega-events bring not only opportunity but also risk. Public safety officials in Houston and Dallas must prepare for:

• Crowd management and fan zones that attract tens of thousands of people at once

• Potential criminal activity such as theft, vandalism, or more serious threats

• Traffic and transportation challenges impacting both residents and visitors

• Cybersecurity and IT infrastructure strain from the massive influx of connected devices

The World Cup will put both Houston and Dallas on the world stage. How cities respond will define their reputation long after the final match.

From mesh networks and point-to-point wireless to DAS and in-building Wi-Fi, Teksys ensures cameras, command centers, and communications stay online — even under heavy load.

🚀 Expedited Procurement with the Texas DIR Contract

One of the greatest advantages for Houston and Dallas public sector agencies is that Teksys solutions are available through the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contracts DIR-CPO-5287 and DIR-CPO-5401.

This means:

• ✅ No lengthy bid process — solutions are pre-approved for purchase

• ✅ Pre-negotiated pricing ensures best value for taxpayers

• ✅ Faster deployment timelines so cities and agencies can act before the World Cup begins

• ✅ Streamlined compliance with state purchasing requirements

By leveraging DIR, agencies can move from planning to implementation much faster, ensuring that critical security and IT infrastructure is in place well before the first fans arrive.

Why Business Leaders Near Fan Zones Should Care

For business owners near stadiums, fan zones, and entertainment districts, the World Cup presents both opportunity and risk. With increased foot traffic comes greater exposure to theft, vandalism, or liability incidents.

By investing in video surveillance, access control, and AI analytics, businesses can protect employees, customers, and property — while creating a safe, welcoming environment for global visitors.

The Time to Act is Now

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be here before we know it. Preparation for an event of this scale cannot wait until the last minute.

Teksys stands ready to support City of Houston and Dallas public safety officials, IT managers, and business leaders with proven, scalable solutions that keep our communities safe and connected. And with our Texas DIR contract, procurement has never been easier or faster.
