Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management of high performance Information Technology Systems (“ITS”) infrastructure solutions, announces two new engagements with consumer companies.

The first engagement is with one of the world's largest specialty apparel retailers, for whom Beacon performed site surveys and detailed radio frequency (“RF”) analysis on two large distribution center campuses in the United States in May 2009. The new engagement covers two of the retailer's new distribution centers, one in Canada and the other in the United Kingdom, where Beacon will be responsible for the customer's RF wireless infrastructure, including assessment, design and implementation. Work on this project is scheduled to begin in March 2010. The value of this engagement is approximately $400,000.

The second engagement is with a new customer, a leading producer and marketer of beer and other beverage products in the United States. The engagement, which was completed in February, required Beacon to perform a network assessment, design and installation in one of the customer's manufacturing facilities located in the Midwest. The value of this engagement is approximately $120,000 and will be included in fiscal 2010, second quarter results.

Bruce Widener, Chief Executive Officer of Beacon Enterprise Solutions, said, “These engagements represent two elements of Beacon's growth strategy, which includes expanding the scope of our relationships with existing clients and signing new clients. Agreements such as these contribute to our Projected Value of Contract Backlog (as defined below) of over $60 million, and we are well on our way to reaching our goals for fiscal 2010 and beyond. We look forward to broadening our business with our existing global client base, demonstrating our capabilities to new clients, and affecting acquisitions that complement our business.”

The Company has posted a new presentation on its website, in accordance with Reg. FD, that will be given to potential institutional investors during upcoming road shows. The presentation addresses the Company's current business strategy, its global ITS infrastructure service offerings, future plans for growth and historical increases in quarterly sales and assets.

Projected Value of Contract Backlog (“Backlog”) reflects the projected revenue impact of existing engagements over a one to three year period and is subject to change as work is completed and/or the scope of various engagements changes over time. Backlog includes the projected value of recently announced, multi-year ITS managed services engagements as well as short-term projects for which the Company has been engaged to provide network design, engineering, implementation and/or project management services.
