G4S issued the following news release:
G4S Technology LLC (formerly Adesta) a systems integrator and project management company for electronic security systems and communication networks,
has been awarded a contract with the Virginia Coalfield Coalition to provide fiber optic expansion and cellular communications towers to help advance
wireless communications in Southwest Virginia.
G4S Technology has begun a phased-roll out of the project providing engineering, furnishing, and installation services. Phase I will consist of the build-out of
12 fiber laterals to existing towers. Phase II will consist of erecting 11 build-to-suit towers and fiber laterals with an option for a third phase that would
consist of 6 more towers in 2013-2014.
The project is being funded by grants from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission, and direct investment from
private enterprise partners.
The Virginia Coalfield Coalition (VCC) is a non-stock, non-profit Virginia Corporation organized as a regional economic development partnership of the
Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission and the LENOWISCO Planning District Commission. The VCC addresses the seven-county region of Lee,
Wise, Scott, Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell counties, and the city of Norton.
"G4S Technology began working in the state of Virginia back in 2004," said Bob Sommerfeld, President of G4S Technology. "Since that time we have been
involved in several important communications projects and feel a real devotion to Virginia citizens. A project like this will not only improve and expand
communication services; it will also provide advancement in the areas of economic development, public safety, healthcare, education and more. We are
honored to be a part of it."
"This project will have a significant impact in economic development, job creation, and expanding the reach of broadband in our area," said Delegate Terry
Kilgore, Chairman of the Virginia Tobacco Commission.
Robert Picchi, President of Blue Ridge Advisory Services and project manager for the VCC noted that G4S has distinguished themselves from a group of
highly qualified and impressive firms to become the VCC's implementation partner. In addition to G4S, the VCC is partnering with Bristol Virginia Utilities and
Scott County Telephone to operate the network.
