CHANTILLY, Va., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GTSI (R) Corp.
(Nasdaq: GTSI) announced that it has brought together more than 15 partners to
form the Physical Security Alliance (PSA). The mission of this Alliance is to
assist in developing an open, standard, secure, reliable, and trusted physical
security protection system solution for customers of the Alliance.
"We view physical security protection as an essential element of the
larger concept of Homeland Security Protection," said Arpad Toth, GTSI's
senior technologist and PSA founder. "We are acutely aware that viable
solutions for protecting our nation can only be developed and implemented
through full collaboration between the private and public sectors. To that
end, we have brought together more than 15 of our valued partners to
concentrate on the task."
Mr. Toth explained that GTSI is in a unique position to offer private
sector assistance because of its partnerships with leaders of the physical
security industry who offer products, services and complex integrated system
solutions in the areas of force protection, homeland security protection,
physical security protection, automated video surveillance, computer vision,
physical and logical access control, identity management, biometrics, smart
card, smart door, cyber security and weapons of mass destruction detection.
Through the Alliance, GTSI will function as a "one-stop-shop" providing:
system consulting and advisory services; products, solutions, and managed
services that offer the best industry -- leading physical security and force
protection; GTSI-branded PSP multi-vendor solutions; and system integration.
Dendy Young Chairman and CEO of GTSI said, "Over the past year, GTSI has
brought its partners together to create branded solutions in areas including
VoIP and broadband data communications worldwide, and storage. GTSI-branded
solutions, such as the GTSI Agility(TM) mobile office have been used in Iraq,
Afghanistan and on ships at sea. I am pleased that we are continuing this
tradition, by now introducing GTSI SentriX(TM) that will be the trademark for
all GTSI branded physical security protection products, systems, and
services."
"Our goal is to work closely with the best participants of the physical
security industry and together serve our federal, state and local government
customers. We want to be among the pioneers and leaders that help address the
long term security protection mission of the Department of Homeland Security
