Corporate Overview and History:


WHO WE ARE:
We are Charles Hart Industrial, Inc. Originated before 1969 by Charles Hart as a Sole Proprietorship, the company officially started doing business as CharlesHart Industrial in 1972. In 1999, the company was incorporated as Charles Hart Industrial, Inc.

THEN and NOW; THREE DECADES OF SERVICE HISTORY:

Late 1960's:
We supplied and installed Talk-a-Phone Intercoms and Motorola Car Telephones (manual Mobile Telephones). After the 1968 "Carterphone Decision," private connection of telephone devices was permitted. We pioneered connecting ANSWERING SYSTEMS and RECORDING SYSTEMS to telephone lines and built the TELEPHONE INTERFACES required for their connection. Attorneys and Real Estate firms were some of our early customers for these newly available technologies.

Early 1970's:
We supplied and installed UL Listed Security Systems, Intercom Systems, the "new" IMTS Car Telephones with Rotary Dials (previous car phones used an operator). We started servicing and augmenting existing 1A1 and 1A2 Key Telephone Systems.

Mid 1970's:
We supplied and installed "advanced" Pulsar Car Telephones with Pushbutton Dialing. We pioneered REFRIGERATION & FREEZER ALARMS with REMOTE DIALING for the Waldbaum Food Store chain and also installed advanced store-wide PAGING with TALKBACK, INTERCOM SYSTEMS and MUSIC SYSTEMS. The first FACSIMILE SYSTEMS were the "Quip" rotary spinning units. We pioneered their Commercial deployment for businesses of all types.

Mid to Late 1970's:
We pioneered the TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT BUSINESS by installing some of the first Private Telephone Systems (by TIE Communications). The early 10T & 10TX "Grey Whale" systems were very well received. Later, the Econo-Key Systems were introduced. These systems had a revolutionary new features such as intercoms with OFF-HOOK HANDS-FREE ANSWER BACK and MULTI-LINE CONFERENCING. We could see the future; the TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT business was now ours.

Mid to Late 1970's:
CONSULTING and ADVOCACY: In those days, the phone companies were monopolies and were very resistant to loosing their huge equipment rental revenues. They came up with several ploys to stop their customers from buying privately owned telephone equipment, including forcing customers to rent expensive and unnecessary "STP" Phone-Line Interfaces at hundreds of dollars per month. We fought these anti-competitive and unfair practices for several years and finally got our customers huge refunds. Those were the early days of CONSULTING. We were up at the Public Service Commission (PSC) at the World Trade Center ADVOCATING for our customers on a regular basis. The NYC Director of the PSC was Charlie Kraft, our favorite PSC hearing officer. One week, after several hearings, he said we were his most frequent visitor. We always felt our customers had a right to Quality and Affordable telephone service and, as required, we fought for it.

Early 1980's:
We started installing Data Lines and Equipment with an Edison Pen-Writer used by airlines to remotely dispatch bus transportation for flight crews. We were early on the scene specifying 4-Wire Data Circuits and installing thousands of feet of IBM Twin-Axial Data Cabling... it was one of our specialties back then.

Mid 1980's:
Cellular One and NYNEX started cellular service in the New York Metro Area about 1984. We were there with the first installations of Cellular Telephones for many of our corporate clients who had been waiting patiently for years to get phones in their cars. At that time, we were installing the Motorola 4000x, 2000x Car Telephones and those first giant handheld units, which were fondly known as "Bricks."

United Artists Theaters Eastern Division built their new headquarters and multiplexed their theaters in the mid 1980s, we were there with leading edge Access Controls, custom designed Door Annunciator Systems, and Fire Alarm Systems.

1990's:
We installed Cat.-5 wring everywhere, loaded Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, setup networks, servers, Digital Telephone Systems, Voicemail Systems, Internet Connectivity, Modems, Broadband Cable Modems, T1s,. DSLs... you know the story. Well, so much for where we've been. The age of the Apple IIe was long gone; the internet blossomed and DOT.COM arrived.

2000's:
TODAY, AFTER THREE DECADES OF SERVING METRO NEW YORK:
Today we install the latest Firewalls, Routers, Data and Networks in ordinary businesses, Dot.Com businesses and even Residences.

We carry Telephone and Voice Mail Systems by over 40 vendors, including, Avaya (formerly AT&T and Lucent), Nortel, Panasonic, Toshiba, Comdial, Nitsuko, etc.

Security Systems and Access Controls are by Radionics, Napco, ADI and so forth... too many to mention.

Our Home Theater and Home Audio Division carries almost every major brand and system... probably everything anyone would ever need.

Consulting and Technology have always been the backbone of our services; and our commitment to customer satisfaction has always been our watchword.

Our customers will tell the story best... we're here for the long haul and we look forward to doing business with you!

Thanks for the opportunity to serve. Sincerely, all of us at Charles Hart Industrial, Inc.
