As a founding partner of FLAG Telecom (Fiber-optic Link Around the Globe), GAI brought together Bell Atlantic Network Systems (USA) (now Verizon), Marubeni (Japan) and the Dallah-Al Baraka Group (Saudi Arabia) to establish a $1.8 billion undersea fiber-optic cable from the United Kingdom to Japan via Egypt.
GAI joined with the world's most diversified manufacturer of security products (NAPCO Security Systems, Inc.) to form NAPCO Gulf Security Group in Dubai. Its business has been to establish distributorships that bid on the security components of public and private facilities projects throughout the region.
GAI has also provided consulting services to Summit Filter Corporation and Shaffer Products, Inc., on export opportunities.
