RS Monopoles Anchor Seaside Broadband Project

Another 27 RStandard(TM) Monopoles Shipped To Nova Scotia

CALGARY, May 11 /CNW/ - Resin Systems Inc. ("RS") (RS - TSX), a technology innovator and manufacturer of advanced composite products for infrastructure markets, announces that Seaside Wireless Communications has received shipment of an additional 27 RStandard(TM) modular composite poles for their portion of the "Broadband for Rural Nova Scotia" initiative, a service designed to provide high-speed internet access for all of Nova Scotia. This shipment, a result of continued collaboration between RS and its exclusive North American distributor, brings Seaside's RStandard pole inventory up to a total of 86.

When completed at the end of 2009, the entire province will have high-speed internet access, thus making Nova Scotia one of the most connected jurisdictions in North America. Seaside Wireless and RS are collaborating to provide a reliable and robust network that offers worldwide interconnectivity to all of Nova Scotia's communities.

"We are involved with construction of one of the world's largest wireless broadband networks to date," stated Mac Fuller, regional manager for Seaside Wireless Communications. "Our early construction efforts confirmed the many advantages of using the RStandard monopole. At the time this was a relatively new application of the product, but RS worked with us to quickly develop the specific telecom and safety hardware we required. The logistics advantages of the RStandard allowed us to keep ahead of a very tight build schedule. The modular concept also allows us tremendous inventory flexibility with our installations ranging from 20 to 40 meters (65.6 to 131.3 feet) in above ground height, all constructed from standard modules. We are continuing to find new applications for this versatile product and the RS engineering team has always been there to support us. In the end, the RStandard modular concept allowed for quick lead times, fast, economical and permit-free transportation from our central yard to the sites and very efficient pole assembly and setting."

Jeff St. Aubin, the project manager with Morrison Hershfield Ltd., the project's design engineering firm, stated, "After our analysis was complete, the RStandard was the obvious monopole choice for this broadband project. The standard-sized nesting modules allowed for quick lead time and cost effective transportation. Pole assembly and setting are very efficient with this system, which allowed us to expedite our build schedule. We also have the flexibility to deploy larger base modules today and add new top modules in the future to increase the pole height to accommodate future network upgrades or site sharing revenue opportunities. The RStandard is the only monopole system that offers this many solutions and is also maintenance free."

"Our RStandard monopole provides a non-conductive structure that eliminates noise and interference for radio frequency beams," stated Paul Giannelia, president and chief executive officer of RS. "The monopoles are a task-flexible, highly robust, low cost sustainable solution for the broadband and telecommunications industry. Our monopole value proposition puts us in an excellent position to expand our role in the telecommunications market."
