Beacon Enterprise Solutions Announces Additional Engagement with Fortune 100 Pharmaceutical and Health Care Client

August 17, 2010, LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BEAC) (www.askbeacon.com), an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management of high performance Information Technology Systems (ITS) infrastructure solutions, today announces the execution of an additional engagement to perform ITS services at 3 locations in the Middle East for an existing international Fortune 100 client.

Beacon will be responsible for the entire ITS project, which includes providing cable infrastructure engineering and design services in three cities in the Middle East. It will be responsible for the sourcing of raw materials, service installation and all quality control efforts to meet the client’s standard engineering requirements. Post installation, Beacon will employ its proprietary I³MAC (Innovative, Intelligent, Installation, Moves, Adds and Changes) managed service application to provide comprehensive, real-time monitoring of the clients installed service to maintain predictable and consistent service delivery in compliance with the client’s enterprise standards.

“This existing pharmaceutical client recently acquired a company in the Middle East and engaged Beacon to assess the ITS infrastructure at three locations,” said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon. “After successfully assessing the facilities, we were awarded this new engagement which is expected to generate approximately $1 million in additional revenue over the next two quarters. Having demonstrated our technology prime model for ITS services is the right solution for this client, we continue to work with them to gain additional ITS responsibilities. This additional contract further illustrates how critical offering global capabilities are when offering comprehensive ITS solutions and strategies for technology-driven corporate enterprises with multi-national facilities.”

For all three locations, Beacon will design and install ITS infrastructure components for the project, including pathway and telecommunications grounding equipment in order to support the various fiber optic-cabling requirements in the facilities. Once complete, backbone single and multi-mode fiber optic cable will be installed to establish network connectivity with the client’s equipment on various floors of the facility. As well in one city, Beacon has also been requested to install the horizontal cabling requirements to support a wireless LAN administrative network and access to wireless camera devices for security measures.

“This is a strong endorsement of the need for global ITS services and the value proposition to the corporate enterprise IT and facilities manager,” commented Jerry Bowman, COO of Beacon. “Beacon is one of the few companies who can offer global assessment, installation and management of ITS products and solutions. Our professional services-based, technology prime model continues to be validated by agreement with these types of large corporations. Our services are becoming the preferred approach to planning, building and managing ITS infrastructure requirements and solutions for national, multi-national and global Fortune 1000 firms.”
