LITE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES AWARDED FIBRE OPTIC DEPLOYMENT CONTRACT WORTH OVER $7,000,000

Lite Access Technologies Inc. has been awarded a contract in the amount of $7,091,485 for the supply and installation of a fibre optic network for the GwaiiTel Society (GwaiiTel) in Haida Gwaii, B.C. This is the largest contract in Lite Access's history.

The project will consist of the supply and construction of a 107-kilometre fibre optic network beginning near Old Masset, B.C., and connecting to Skidegate, B.C. The feeder fibre network will be connected to five existing GwaiiTel points of presence (POPs) in Old Massett, Masset, Port Clements, Tlell and Skidegate. Lite Access and its wholly owned subsidiary DSG Communications have been awarded this latest project to provide the most future proof and cost-effective fibre connectivity solution available.

Dylan Griffiths, chief executive officer of DSG Communications states: "We are extremely pleased that the GwaiiTel Society has chosen Lite Access and DSG to provide their communities with a state-of-the-art fibre optic network. GwaiiTel is just the latest in a number of organizations that have recognized the advantage of our products and deployment techniques. We look forward to working together with the GwaiiTel Society to bring world-class fibre optic connectivity to the businesses and residents of Haida Gwaii."

Beginning with Waterton, Alta., -- and including Vancouver, B.C., Delta, B.C., Langley, B.C., Rossland, B.C., United States' Virgin Island Water and Power Authority, the Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago and Telus Corp. -- this is the 10th announced contract awarded to Lite Access in the past five months, culminating in orders and bookings exceeding $8.8-million. A massive investment cycle in fibre optic networks has emerged as traditional copper networks are being replaced. Lite Access has been working with numerous telecom companies, Internet service providers and communities, providing the most timely, future-proof and cost-effective fibre connectivity solution available. Specializing in microduct and air-blown fibre technologies, and deployed using specially designed microtrench technologies, Lite Access's proven solutions have been adopted worldwide and have successfully changed the way fibre connectivity is achieved today.

We seek Safe Harbor.
