Company History

NTI is becoming a leading systems integrator in a rapidly emerging technology area in the federal marketplace: wireless computing systems and wireless communications networks. Through NTI's early commitment to wireless technologies, the company has developed expert wireless network capability in network design, engineering, applications development, and integration. In 1995, NTI was the first systems integrator in the federal marketplace to integrate Lotus cc:Mail wireless into an existing cc:Mail corporate Wide Area Network, for Concept Automation, Inc./BTG, a federal prime contractor. In this wireless network setting, NTI integrated wireless modems, working with notebook computers and hand-held devices (PDAs), sending e-mail and file attachments over a packet-data radio network, connecting to a corporate WAN of over 200 users.

NTI is a key strategic partner with Bell South Information Systems Data Network (previously known as RAM), in developing a variety of wireless mobile computing solutions for the federal government customer. These solutions range from “off the shelf ” wireless e-mail/messaging solutions for the mobile PC, Mac, and hand-held computer user to complete gateway integrated systems. NTI is delivering custom designed Client/Server software applications for these integrated wireless communications solutions for federal computer users.

In September of 1997, NTI won a competitive U.S. Health and Human Services contract for a ground-breaking telemedicine system for Indian Health Service in South Dakota. This $500,000 pilot project provided for high performance, computer-based, tele-radiology systems to be designed, integrated, and installed in remote Indian Health Services hospitals and linked through a private ISDN network connection.

In April of 1998, NTI was awarded a prime contract to implement distance learning classrooms for the Army Distance Learning Project. This contract worth up to $5 million, provides for design and integration of multi-media, state of the art classrooms for Army training, throughout the United States. This includes computer based training, video teleconferencing, high speed data networking, all tied together in a Wide Area Network, manageable from multiple sites.
