Military and Aerospace Security Upgrade with Valdor Technology
May 9, 2011 - Hayward, California
Valdor Technology International Inc. ("Valdor") (TSX-V: VTI) is pleased to report that Valdor technology will be used in the upgrade to a new surveillance and security system at a major U.S. military and aerospace base. A military contractor, who has purchased IMT (Impact Mount™ Technology) kits and installed IMT connectors at this military base for the past ten years, has recently upgraded their original IMT kits with Valdor's new Omega Kits. The Valdor components have performed extremely well during this extended period of operation. The new kits include Valdor's Omega Enclosure products for cable repair and extension in the field. The contractor for this base, Mr. John Pitre, is a veteran in the installation of fiber optics systems. He and his team will be installing these state-of-the-art Valdor products.
Mr. John Pitre has written the following testimonial on the Valdor technology:
"I am a fiber optics installer and I have used Valdor's ST Impact Mount connector and installation technology [table top model] with great success in various outdoor applications. The installations were typically used in harsh environments subject to extreme hot and cold temperatures. This technology has proven its value over a ten year period, after initial install, with superb longevity. The Valdor IMT Kits are high quality and do not have the mess and inconvenience associated with products that use gel, epoxy or hot melts. I would highly recommend the Valdor connectivity products to any fiber optics contractor who has a need for reliability, longevity and easy termination. Thank you, Valdor, for a product, on its own platform, that meets or exceeds our requirements for fiber connection and termination."
About the Fiber Optics Industry
Fiber optics is the future of communications and fiber optic connectors are one of the major profit centres within this market. The signal transmission business is in the early stages of a fiber optics bull market. All signal transmission, in their many and various forms, are being converted from electrical, using copper wire and coaxial cable, to fiber optics. In the USA the Obama administration has recently pledged an initial US$7.2-billion to a plan that calls for 100 million Americans to have access to super high speed internet. This high speed internet will require significant fiber optic infrastructure. The annual global market for fiber optic connectors is projected to grow to US$3.45 billion in 2011 (ElectroniCast Consultants: www.electronicastconsultants.com).
