SUISUN, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 17, 2017) - 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 $1.5 million new contracts signings in December 2016. Since April 30, 2016, the end of the Company's last fiscal year, backlog has increased 31.3% to $17.3 million as of December 31, 2016.

Sebastian Giordano, Chief Executive Officer of WPCS, commented, "Long-standing relationships with current customers and change orders on existing projects continue to fuel steady growth in our business and were the predominant sources of December's new contract signings, including:

• $715,000 for wireless remediation cabling at a top medical center; and,
• $205,000 for running cable for a paging and security system at a major hospital.
