ROHN looking good too, nice news the other day.
PEORIA, Ill., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHN Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROHN - news), a leading provider of wireless
infrastructure equipment for the telecommunications industry, announced today that it has signed an agreement with the
Pennsylvania Office of Administration to supply and install radio towers, equipment shelters and emergency power generators
as part of an advanced, statewide radio system project linking state agencies and offering enhanced emergency communications
capabilities. The Company expects the contract will generate approximately $40 million in revenues through December 2000.
As previously announced, Pennsylvania's development of a statewide radio network will allow enhanced radio communications
for those state agencies that have mobile employees in the field. It will help agencies in their day-to-day work, and improve
their effectiveness when emergencies occur and reliable wireless communications is especially critical.
''This contract award further demonstrates our capabilities of providing state-of-the-art, cost-effective communications
infrastructure equipment that address today's wireless and fiber optic industry needs,'' said Brian B. Pemberton, President and
Chief Executive Officer, ROHN Industries, Inc. ''As we have previously stated, we are pleased to be a part of this project,
which we believe will be essential in improving public safety communications.''
''Our radio project in Pennsylvania will replace a patchwork of outmoded radio systems with a single, state-of-the-art radio
network simplifying mobile communications for state agencies and offering powerful new capabilities,'' said Thomas G. Paese,
Pennsylvania Secretary of Administration. ''We are pleased that we can count on ROHN's expertise to help make this new
statewide system the model public safety radio network in the nation.''
