TROY, Mich., Oct. 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Viper Networks, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VPER) is pleased to announce positive developments for both LED lighting pilot programs with Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources; and with Colombo city officials representing the largest metropolitan area in Sri Lanka.

Positive developments are two-fold, as the time period for each pilot project is expected to be reduced by at least 50 percent, to 30 days maximum for each pilot installation and testing program, respectively; and manufacturing capabilities for the Company’s exclusive partner Apollo Metro Solutions are quickly ramping up to achieve greater production capacity by mid-December.

While the Company seeks to install indoor lighting and street lights for all of Sri Lanka’s 18 existing harbors and 11 new harbors under construction, the anticipated agreement (upon pilot project completion) for approximately 100 to 200 indoor lights and street lights per location represent the much smaller of the two pilot programs.
