Written by jrood
Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a design, implementation and management of Information Technology Systems infrastructure solutions company, has been awarded a Washington, D.C.-based project by teaming partner ICS Nett, Inc., a federal prime contractor, to provide ITS infrastructure services to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Red Metro Line. This first contract award to Beacon by ICS is projected to bring $4 million in new net sales to Beacon. Under the agreement, Beacon will initially provide installation management, maintenance, program and project management services, as well as camera installation for WMATA's Red Metro Line CCTV infrastructure. Beacon will also provide future ITS infrastructure services for various projects, including public address systems, fire intrusion alarm, telephony, wireless systems, structured cabling system and networking. "The relationship with ICS is allowing Beacon to expand the verticals to which we offer our core services and will help stabilize our net sales volume which has been somewhat unpredictable the last couple of quarters. Providing Rail Telecom services to ICS Transportation Division is a very solid strategic move for Beacon," said Beacon President and COO Jerry Bowman.
