Our Roots

GBS began operations in 1998 as part of a US Government initiative to achieve global superiority through advanced information technology when the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) created the Global Fiber Initiative (GFI) to demonstrate a fiber optic network’s ability to deliver mission-critical information to support US deployed operations anywhere in the world.  Operating as the System Integrator for the GFI, GBS implemented the first demonstration of a totally fiber-based transmission system between the United States and the Middle East (ME).  The GFI project also marked the first time in communications history that advanced broadband telecommunications services were successfully established between the United States and the ME completely over optical fiber.  Since the successful GFI project, GBS has provided its clients with innovative terrestrial, submarine fiber optic cable systems (SFOC), and wireless-satellite based solutions.
