US-based Viper Networks has initiated a sixty day pilot program for testing Apollo Metro Solutions' LED Street Lights with installations along a section of one of the busiest boulevards in Colombo, the metropolis of Sri Lanka.
 
The primary purpose of the short-term project is to review operational functions and confirm installation procedures for the LED Street Light lamp and housing unit under varying light output scenarios. The installation aspect of the pilot project will also help determine the workforce needed for the city of Colombo to change out existing lamps with the new LED street lights.
 
Shortly after the successful completion of the pilot project, the Company anticipates LED street light order deliveries will be determined in quarterly or semi-annual stages based on the city's work personnel (installation) capabilities.
 
To help illuminate this point and the total estimated agreement period, Viper Networks may fulfill orders totaling 200,000 LED street light units. However, based on the city's manpower capabilities, the Company is factoring monthly order delivery numbers of 10,000 to 15,000 units based on direct guidance from recent meetings with city officials.
 
This conveys an approximate period of 15 to 20 months to complete delivery and installation of all 200,000 LED street lights.
