Gray Hawk Announces Telecom Services Expansion

Home

January 29, 2004 - Alexandria, VA - (www.grayhawksystems.com)Gray Hawk Systems officials announced a major business expansion initiative at the firm's corporate headquarters in Alexandria yesterday. Through a strategic partnership with Globix, Gray Hawk will now offer Federal sector clients a new alternative for secure telecommunications and managed Internet services. Globix is headquartered in New York City, and operates its own optical IP backbone throughout the US and Europe.

Gray Hawk plans to build upon prior experience as a telecommunications reseller in the government space to provide a broad range of telecom services with a deep bench of related technical support. "The Globix alliance is a logical extension of our telecom capabilities" said Gray Hawk CEO, Pete Howton, "it leverages our own telecom experience with their installed infrastructure while enriching the whole with our security expertise." In recent years, Gray Hawk has specialized in high-end technical services for the national security marketplace. The telecom initiative strengthens the firm's position as the go-to supplier for government clients with sensitive communications requirements.

Gray Hawk executives expect the telecom business unit to draw upon several existing professional services components to become a lead element in the firm's Operations, Intelligence and Security (OIS) Division, also based in Alexandria. Gray Hawk Systems is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.
