SUISUN, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2016) -  WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), a full-service low-voltage solutions provider in the business of developing, installing and servicing integrated structured cabling, audio-visual and security systems, today announced that it added $3.8 million of new contracts in August 2016.

• $2.2 million for distributed antenna systems for two major hospitals; 

• $980k for audio-visual (AV) work for a large hospital; and,

• $350k for the installation of a paging and AV system for a major sports arena.
