Lite Access Technologies Awarded Municipal Fibre Optic Network Build for Cardston County, Alberta

VANCOUVER, May 22, 2019 /CNW/ - LITE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LTE) (OTC PINK: LTCCF), a world leader in the use of innovative and proven micro/narrow trenching technologies, alternate methods of deployment and specialist products which transform the cost of fibre optic network deployment for telecommunications operators, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract in the amount of $500,000 for installation of a fibre optic network in Cardston County, Alberta.

The project will consist of the construction of an approximately 13 km fibre optic backbone network beginning near Mountain View, Alberta and connecting Leavitt, Alberta. The network is to be deployed using Lite Access' proven processes and technologies in the least invasive, most future-proof and cost-effective fibre manner possible.  The project is expected to be completed by June 2019. 

"We are pleased that Cardston County has chosen to work with Lite Access for this important project," said Carlo Shimoon, CEO of Lite Access.  "Cardston is an excellent example of a community building its own fibre optic network to connect local businesses and residents, and we anticipate additional agreements similar to this as individual communities, organizations and municipalities take charge of their information technology infrastructure."

Murray Millward, Chief Administrative Officer of Cardston County, stated, "Cardston County selected Lite Access based on a few considerations.  Namely, from their willingness to sit down, listen to and understand our goals and then bring additional ideas and suggestions to ensure our fibre optic backbone would work for us both now and in the future."
