LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 2001

The arm of the Quebec government-sanctioned organization charged with regulating the construction industry has included American Access Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:AATK) zone cabling cabinets in its training program, the Company announced today.

"Since our training focuses on market trends and the latest technology, we believe American Access' products should be part of our curriculum. I just really like the product. I haven't seen anything else that competes," said Denis Leduc, special advisor to the Fraternite Inter-Provinciale des Ouvriers en Electricite, (FIPOE) a brotherhood of inter-province electrical workers.

FIPOE, along with employers and the Quebec government, comprise the Construction Commission of Quebec. The CCQ, which trains construction workers, generates competency cards and administers benefits to workers, has identified a new trade, Network Cabling Specialist, and CCQ will conduct the training of these professionals incorporating American Access zone cabling cabinets, Leduc said.

Leduc, who wrote the course specs and designed the special training lab, said FIPOE has also partnered with Building Industry Consulting Services International, (BICSI), the definitive authority that implements and teaches structured cabling standards and specifications throughout the world. BICSI is supplying the reference material that will be translated into French for the CCQ course. BICSI will also use the translated material to access French-speaking countries for its own programs.

"Zone cabling is done in the industry, and we want to increase it being done the proper way," Leduc said. "I am dedicated to this project."

American Access manufactures patented zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture, routing traditional cabling and fiber optics to the office desktop. The Company's concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70% while providing plug and play, up-gradable networks, fiber optics and wireless LAN.
