Versar, Inc. (NYSE Amex: VSR) and Lemko Corporation, which formed a strategic partnership in April of 2009, are pleased to announce they have successfully teamed with rural wireless broadband carriers to submit grant applications of more than $150 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for selected rural carriers in Pennsylvania, North Dacota, Wisconsin and New York.

These comprehensive grant applications offer an all-inclusive, 4G-ready, mobile broadband solution featuring Lemko’s Node1™ mobile broadband cellular system and Versar’s professional construction and project management services. The end result is a rapidly deployable, shovel ready and complete turnkey solution that provides wireless broadband to under-served and unserved areas in these states. During the next 30 days, Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) are expected to announce finalists for these competitive grant awards.

“Lemko’s solutions deliver mobile broadband data, high quality voice and text services at a sustainable business case for even the smallest markets”, said Bo Pyskir, President, Lemko Corporation. “Our software only approach ensures that operators have a clear and affordable path to next generation technology”.

“Versar stands ready to begin deployment of the Lemko mobile broadband network to these states upon award notification. Our plan is to bring our telecommunications program management services to the rural carriers and deliver a timely, cost-efficient solution that clearly exceeds the intent of this important broadband stimulus effort,” said Ted Prociv, Versar’s President and CEO.
