The project has an expected value of approximately $500,000, with work beginning towards month-end and completion expected before the end of the calendar year.  As per terms of the agreement, Beacon will connect seven buildings together utilizing single mode fiber optic cable to interconnect the telecommunications rooms between locations for more efficient data transfer.  This project, which is for a U.S. location, will also involve aspects of building security, in addition to traditional local area network requirements, to upgrade the client's ITS infrastructure within their campus environment.

"This project is important as it is among the first of the delayed projects, sometimes from as far back as a year or two - that are beginning to move forward.  This is the second new contract we have announced since July in our Pharma Division – and is exemplary of projects moving forward that have been on the shelf," said Jerry Bowman, President and COO of Beacon.  "Client approval and purchase order activity within our existing clients is an important barometer for us of trending within our clients, especially as we begin to close out FY2011 and finalize plans for 2012."

Bruce Widener, Chairman and CEO of Beacon concluded, "I am encouraged by the growth in our core business.  We are starting to turn the corner on projects that in some cases have been a year or more in process.  Our existing clients continue to turn to Beacon to implement needed ITS solutions in order to remain competitive in today's global economy.  I expect to continue to see more organic growth from our Fortune 1000 clients."
