FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GTSIŅ CORP AND ARTERA GROUP TEAM TO OFFER GOVERNMENT
HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS
Agreement Offers Government Unprecedented
Nationwide Broadband Capabilities
WESTPORT, Conn, January 14, 2002 - GTSIŅ Corp. (NASDAQ: GTSI), and Artera Group Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of NCT Group, Inc. (OTCBB: NCTI), have teamed to offer Artera Turbo subscription service for high speed Internet access. GTSI will make the service available to its government customers through its NIH ECS II (Electronic Computer Store) contract and its NASA SEWP (Scientific, Engineering and Workstation Procurement) III contract.
Artera Turbo provides broadband speeds from standard dial-up connections and delivers significant speed enhancements to all forms of broadband connections such as DSL, T1 and cable. It delivers broadband speeds from widely available dial-up connections, avoiding prolonged waiting times for technical installation, infrastructure changes and other hindrances associated with broadband technologies such as DSL, T1 and cable modems. It also dramatically increases the speed of any broadband connection including DSL, cable modem, satellite, wireless leased lines and ISDN.
"Artera Turbo has a bright future in government. It offers cost-effective, high-speed Internet access to government workers whenever there is a standard phone line available. This will help with remote access and work-at-home programs in all levels - Federal, state and local." said John Spotila, GTSI Chief Operating Officer.
"We are very pleased to have GTSI presenting our solution to government agencies," said Michael J. Parrella, chairman and CEO of the NCT Group, Inc. "Currently, about 70 percent of the Internet market in the United States cannot receive broadband or high-speed access because of countless obstacles. We've had tremendous interest from government agencies that are interested in increasing worker productivity, but are frustrated by the inability to get broadband.
"Artera Turbo not only outperforms DSL and cable, but also "turbo charges" both services, providing more power for users. It includes a full suite of extended services so agencies can get the most from the Internet. These services include a powerful integrated e-mail server and management function, a managed firewall for complete local control and security; virtual private network (VPN); pc-sharing, content control, site blocking and usage accounting. It's a great tool for improving productivity in the governmental sector today."
