Numerex Partners in a Public-Private Consortium to Expand Colorado's High-Speed Broadband Educational Access Network

ATLANTA, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Numerex Corp. (Nasdaq: NMRX), a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, today announced that its BNI Solutions subsidiary has been identified as a project partner for the creation of an affordable broadband network across Colorado that will allow underserved schools, libraries, colleges and communities to have access to high-speed Internet.

The project, announced by Governor Bill Ritter on September 13th, 2010, will be led by Colorado's Educational Access Gateway Learning Environment Network (EAGLE-Net), which is sponsored by the state's Centennial Board of Cooperative Educational Services (CBOCES).  EAGLE-Net is a fully cooperative and secure high-speed network providing educational benefits and services to connected school districts, libraries and community anchor institutions across Colorado. According to plans, the project will add more than 1,600 miles of terrestrial fiber and 3,000 miles of microwave wireless broadband expanding services across each of Colorado's 64 counties.

"We are pleased to be a member of a distinguished group of companies whose goal is to offer easily-accessible and affordable broadband service in Colorado, with a particular focus on rural and underserved school districts.  Our overall emphasis on reliability, security and trust should serve well areas such as education, healthcare delivery, and public safety," said Louis Fienberg Numerex's EVP of Corporate Development and the lead executive for BNI Solutions and its EAGLE-Net project initiative.

As underlined by Governor Ritter, the project has the potential to provide a modern, 21st century link for every school, library and community that has been underserved in the state because of rural location and challenging geography.

"Numerex is honored and privileged to be associated with such a wonderful program that will put critical informational and educational tools at the immediate disposal of hundreds of Colorado communities.  We view this public-private initiative as an important milestone and a tremendous opportunity for Numerex to serve a very worthy cause," said Stratton J. Nicolaides, Chairman and CEO of Numerex.
