October 2, 2015 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, British Columbia - LITE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the "Company") (CSE: LTE, OTC: LTCCF) is pleased to announce that DSG Communications Ltd. (DSG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lite Access, has been awarded a contract for the supply and installation of a fibre optic network for the City of Rossland, BC. Using Lite Access' proprietary micro-trench and air blown fibre optic technologies this backbone will connect an existing fiber optic network owned and operated by the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation (CBBC), a subsidiary of the Columbia Basin Trust, and stretch throughout the City of Rossland.
This expansion is part of a larger, Province-wide connectivity initiative dubbed the "Connecting BC" program, created to provide high speed connectivity to 100% of BC residents by 2021, about which BC Premier Christie Clark says "With more growth taking place in rural and remote communities, it's crucial they have access to the world's most powerful tool to connect, learn, find information and to compete in the global economy. High-speed Internet service should be available to everyone in the province, and we're committed to expanding service to every British Columbian."
Beginning with the Columbia Mountain Open Networks and its numerous communities in south eastern British Columbia, Lite Access' products have been used for many other municipalities in Western Canada including QNet - in Coquitlam, BC, the Township of Langley, BC, Delta, BC, Banff and Waterton, Alberta, to name a few.
Dylan Griffiths, CEO of DSG, states "We are very pleased that the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation has once again chosen to work with DSG and Lite Access. The CBBC, through providing high speed connectivity, has been doing an exemplary job of connecting citizens, enabling businesses to remain competitive in a global economy, supporting education, and helping to attract and retain youth to the communities they serve. We look forward to continuing to expand our relationship with the CBBC in the months and years to come."
