News ReleaseLCC Adoption of Siterra Signals Widespread Industry Acceptance of Site Management System StandardLCC and wireless carriers to cooperatively streamline cell tower projects CTIA Wireless 2005, NEW ORLEANS — March 15, 2005 — Siterra Corporation, the leading provider of software solutions for geographically dispersed real estate assets, today announced that LCC International, Inc., one of the world's leading wireless telecommunication services companies, has joined major wireless carriers, tower companies and other service providers in adopting Siterra Site Management System (SMS). LCC will use Siterra SMS in conjunction with its own field proven proprietary management tool (WINDS) for collaboration, communication and tracking of all its cell tower build-out, modification and field survey projects. Most major wireless carriers have already standardized on Siterra SMS to improve cell tower return on investment (ROI). The tower companies and the service providers who partner with these carriers on management of cell site assets are also adopting Siterra SMS. LCC has chosen three Siterra product modules to streamline its cell site activities: Siterra Site Profiler, Siterra Project Management and Siterra Business Intelligence. Siterra Site Profiler will be used as a common repository for storing all site data, documents and photos relating to cell tower projects. Siterra Project Management will streamline project collaboration and communication between LCC and its wireless carrier customers, ensure subcontractor compliance with project standards and ensure its own compliance with customer-related contractual commitments. The Siterra Business Intelligence enterprise reporting module will enable LCC to query site data, closely track project progress and improve project and expense forecasting. "Siterra SMS will help enable our business model of providing unparalleled technical services to carriers in the Americas region," said Mike McNelly, Senior Vice President of Americas for LCC International, Inc. "Using Siterra, we will be able to optimize internal efficiencies as well as establish a common foundation for collaborating on cell tower projects with our carrier customers." LCC is the first major professional services company to adopt Siterra SMS based on the popularity of the solution among wireless carriers. Companies like Sprint, Nextel and Cingular are already using Siterra SMS to centralize site data, track vendor performance and manage property-related activities. Tower companies are also using Siterra to centralize site data and manage lease administrative activities. LCC is now joining these other major players in the wireless industry to manage all of its site-related projects and to monitor the activities of its subcontractors. This type of pull-through adoption coupled with broad carrier adoption of Siterra SMS demonstrates the growing industry acceptance of the solution as an emerging de facto standard. "LCC is actively involved in the design, optimization and build-out of cell sites and other telecommunications infrastructure throughout the world," said Paul Remer, CEO of Siterra. "We look forward to building a strategic relationship with LCC and playing a part in offering added value to their clients."
