'''Gentek Technologies''' is an NTBI affiliate that spans a variety of different markets. Currently, they are focused on roleplay building components, such as the [[IntelliDoor]] and [[Condor Elevator]].

Gentek was founded in 2005 by [[Nelson Jenkins]], who has remained as the head of the company.

It is the only NTBI affiliate with a [http://gentektechnologies.com/ separate website.]

==Notable Releases==
Gentek has pioneered the emergency vehicle market, providing best-in-class lighting and siren packages for over 5 years. Their most widespread product is the [[EVHUD]], a comprehensive controller HUD packaged with most NTBI vehicles. It brought forth revolutionary new sound driver technology to simulate reverb, as well as the popular EVHUD Store. As of March 1st, 2012, there were over 3,000 EVHUD users.

Gentek was the largest purveyor of outdoor warning sirens for several years, until discontinuing them permanently from their main vendors in late 2010. They had been temporarily removed from vendors several times in 2009, although they had returned due to popular demand. Most are still available in the Clearance Rack for very low prices, although they are no longer supported.

Gentek is also credited with the first-ever emergency vehicle attachment (used exclusively by [[SLPD]]), as well as the first commercially-sold lightbar and siren, [[Degree]]. Although very primitive, they were outstanding at the time compared to the lightbars and sirens included in emergency vehicles of the day. Their lightbars consistently improved until partnering with NTBI and producing [[NTBI-Gentek Lightbars]], heralded as the best in the game.

Telecommunications was another Gentek hit, starting with the [[smartPhone]] in 2009. This expanded roleplay dramatically, especially for 911 calls. However, the service was spotty due to the poor communication handler, so the [[genPhone]] was released in 2010 to help solve these issues. Eventually, [[Linden Lab]] implemented limits on LSL functions used by the genPhone, making it prone to failure. An update has been planned, but constantly delayed due to more restrictions and bugs arising in the HTTP system.

==Current Status==
Gentek Technologies houses its main store in [[Prototype]] along with the rest of NTBI.

Many products have been recently discontinued to focus on its new line of building components and the upcoming [[Mark I]] project. However, Gentek still commands a strong presence in roleplay.
