(the "Company") (CSE: LTE, Pink Sheets: LTCCF) is pleased to announce that it has received a new purchase order for the supply of its microduct and fiber optic components from Spectrum Services in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Our partnership has grown over the past five years to include multiple builds for various high profile clients including Extinet in the State of Nevada." Mr. Priest further added, "We greatly appreciate the long-term relationships that we have built with Spectrum and other valued partners across the globe and look forward to providing them with the products and services they need to ensure that they can deliver the most future-proof and cost effective fiber optic network possible for their customers."

About the "Fibre to the Premise" and "Fibre to the Home" industry
Fibre to the Premise (FTTX) and Fibre to the Home (FTTH), sometimes referred to as "the last mile", is the delivery of a communications signal over optical fibre from the operator's switching equipment all the way to a home or business, thereby replacing existing copper infrastructure such as telephone wires or coaxial cable. FTTX is a rapidly growing method of providing vastly higher bandwidth to consumers and businesses, and thereby enabling more robust video, internet and voice services.
Billions of dollars are being spent to upgrade communications systems and the demand for the Fibre-Optic cable manufacturing and deployment industry has surged as downstream customers upgrade infrastructure that was delayed during the recession. Wireless carriers are expanding their fiber-optic cable networks as more carriers upgrade their networks and consumers increasingly demand high-speed internet on their mobile phones, necessitating more fiber-optic cable purchases.
Communications Internet speed (or lack of) has been described by some industry experts as the single greatest economic issue facing North America today, and an ever increasing demand for bandwidth caused by streaming video and music services, smartphone usage, and consumers and businesses using cloud based and real time communication services has created a surge in investment into last mile infrastructure by internet service providers, businesses, government and educational institutions. The Fiber to the Home Council Americas states that "Fiber-enabled applications and solutions have the potential to create value for service providers and their customers, promote economic development and enhance quality of life for communities".
